Summary

Former Deputy Director and Director of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives David Kuo and H. James Towey on this edition of Fresh Air. David Kuo is the former deputy director of the White House's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. He left in December 2003. He says he was disillusioned with the administration because they failed to actually fund faith-based charities, and they used compassion and religion for political ends. He is the author of the new memoir, Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction. H. James Towey is the former director of the Bush administration's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, and was David Kuo's boss. He will respond to the comments made by Kuo. Towey also served as Mother Teresa's lawyer. He is now president of the Benedictine Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Lastly, book critic Maureen Corrigan reviews The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million by Daniel Mendelsohn. In the book, he unearths and reconstructs the lives of six people in his family who died in the Holocaust. (Broadcast Date: October 18, 2006)
