[edit] Cisco Systems

He also appeared in a TV commercial/advertisement for Cisco Systems (pun on Sisko, his DS9 character). Don't know if that's worth mentioning; feel free to add it if it is :-). --BigglesZX 16:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dates? Alma Mater?

Some of the dates and other information in the article might be suspect. According to his Rutgers University Hall of Distinguished Alumni entry, he is a '73 alum of the university's Livingston College (receiving his MFA in 1976). However, this might simply be intentionally misleading, as Joyce Kilmer is also listed in the Hall (as an '08 alum), despite having flunked out of the college before transferring to Columbia. Furthermore, Brooks couldn't have possibly become a member of the Mason Gross faculty in 1972. Planning for the school didn't even begin until 1975! (see the school's website here) --67.85.176.100 10:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
