Well, I like your writing quite a bit, and would read your memoir.

It's not just what you went and did, but also the intellectual journey -- how did you get to where you are and what were your thoughts and decisions along the way?

When I've thought of writing a memoir, I've thought of 1968, when I was 11. It's not so much what I did that year, but it was such an epochal year for the world. Could I encapsulate it in the life and experiences of an 11 year old Catholic boy in Chicago?
