Kennedy was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for \u003ci\u003eProfiles in Courage\u003c\/i\u003e, his masterful portrait of American heroes, the words \"politician\" and \"courage\" are rarely uttered in the same breath. But, as this celebration of modern political bravery amply demonstrates, there are countless examples of heroism among today's elected officials. \u003ci\u003eProfiles in Courage for Our Time\u003c\/i\u003e pays tribute to 13 such heroes, each a recipient of the prestigious Profile in Courage award. The essays' authors are as noteworthy as their subjects: Anna Quindlen writes about Governor James Florio's passing of the strictest gun control law in the nation; Al Hunt details Russell Feingold and John McCain's efforts to reform political financing; Bob Woodward writes on former President Gerald Ford's controversial decision of conscience to pardon former President Richard Nixon. \"The Profiles in Courage Award seeks to honor those whose lives of service prove that politics can be a noble profession. We hope that Americans realize that there are men and women serving at all levels of our government who are legends of our time.\" -- Caroline Kennedy Renowned authors and award-winners featured in \u003ci\u003eProfiles in Courage for Our Time\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael Beschloss on Carl Elliot, Sr.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Kovach on Charles Weltner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE.
