PCNC Book Club	2/6	5-7	Belmont	Teri Dunwoody *93
Time Present, Time Past, by Bill Bradley '65 In this impresive memoir, Bradley uses his memories of life on and off the court and the Senate floor as a starting point for discussions of race, imigration, campaign financing, and political integrity. Through skillful writing, a wealth of experiences to draw upon, and a genuine and abiding interest in the well-being of this country, Bradley writes a genuinely revelatory book, informed by intelligence, compassion, and unprecedented candor. Bradley also writes about deeper questions, fusing variegated experiences into a compelling philosophy of where we should go as a country and as a people.
