A Few Reads for Tuesday

 Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene Graham Nordone, was appointed to serve out the remainder of her late brother's term.

Snip:

The Graham children grew up in a one-room house behind the Sanitary Café, a combination bar, pool hall and liquor store their parents operated in Central, South Carolina. Nearly a decade apart in age, the siblings forged a tight bond from the start. It was Lindsey who first taught her to spell her name, incorrectly as it turned out. Although her birth certificate reads “Darlene”, she continued to spell it with an I. He also taught her to ride a bike, running alongside her and shouting: “Keep pedaling!” After their parents died, Graham returned to college but spent the weekends visiting his sister, she recalled in interviews.
