SIDELIGHTS: Robert J. Kelly once told CA: "I work in the areas of terrorism, organized crime, and extremist politics. Recently my efforts have concentrated on the area of minority students' access to higher education and methodologies to improve their basic academic skills. I have published numerous essays and articles on these topics and on deviant behavior, prisons, AIDS, homosexuality, and hate crimes.

More recently Kelly added: "My writing style has changed primarily because I no longer write exclusively for professional journals and a professional audience."
