He has received numerous honors for his reporting, including a Peabody Award and two American Bar Association Silver Gavel awards.

Graham earned his LL.B. in 1959 from Vanderbilt Law School, where he was managing editor of the Law Review. After graduating, he practiced law in Nashville, Tenn., and moved to Washington, D.C., in January 1963 to become chief counsel of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments. He earned a B.A. from Yale University in 1953.

He is the author of four books, including his most recent work, Happy Talk (W.W. Norton & Co., 1990), about developments in television news.
