Nov. 4, 2005--Pulitzer-Prize winning author David Halberstam came to Phillips Academy to kick-off off his tour for his newest book, The Education of a Coach, the subject of which is Andover alum Bill Belichick '71, coach of the New England Patriots. Joining him on his visit, which included dinner, a talk, and a book signing, was Belichick's right-hand man and fellow PA alum Ernie Adams '71. In addition to discussing football, Halberstam also fielded questions about Iraq, Vietnam, and politics, topics he's covered in his previous books. (Photos by John Hurley)
