publisher, judged a short-story competition, has provided editing
services for graduate research material at USC, and reviews books for a

such as a planned attempt on his life, his forced flee from Canada for
his safety, and a disturbing, staged incident which saw him assaulted
by a group of 6. Frank is fluent in Italian, having taught the
language at night school, and prior to leaving Canada he was a
volunteer for Big Brothers and The March of Dimes, had met two former
Prime Ministers, and was a senior member of his engineering society. He
received a national award by the War Veterans Association on behalf of
his father; who received several invitations to the Vatican, and was
the recipient of a certificate of patriotism from the United Nations
for his underground resistance efforts against the Nazis. Frank writes
