This one works:

(setq org-capture-templates

   '( ("t" "Todo" entry
         (file "~/02history/rcl.org")
         (concat "* TODO %^{Heading}\n  Brief: %^{Brief}\n"
                 "Detail: %?\n"
                 "Entered: %T\n  Link: %a\n") )))

I suggest you put this into your init file:

(setq show-paren-style 'expression)
(show-paren-mode t)

It will be much easier to see when you miss a parenthesis next time if
you let Emacs match parenthesis for you and syntax colour entire
expressions between matching parenthesis.
