SIDELIGHTS: Daniel O. Graham, Jr. once told CA: "Since leaving the United States Army in 1983, I have remained self-employed—teaching, consulting, and writing. I pursue my passion for current affairs, enabling technologies, traditional morals, and writing. I study Mark Twain for wit and style, and I use Alfred Hitchcock's method of story-boarding scenes to move the plot."
