Entertaining and thoughtful comments by Robert Gates at William and Mary in February. He was speaking at an annual Charter Day ceremony that featured the award of well-earned honorary degree to James A. Bill, the eminent scholar of Iran.

Bill's papers have been donated to William and Mary and are available there to researchers.  http://scrc.swem.wm.edu/?p=collections/findingaid&id=6269&q=&rootcontentid=21263#id21263
