...Graham's son Franklin. "They're a little tougher to track, but they're immensely rewarding." Religion is by no means Van Biema's only interest. Since he came to TIME three years ago from our sister publication Life, he has written about everything from natural disasters to Forrest Gump. "I think it was the most unpopular essay TIME ever published," says Van Biema of his anti-Gump manifesto. "I'll have to write another soon...
