The 1996
Essays
This material was originally intended to
compose the last four chapters of the DADT book, as conceived in the Spring of
1996. At that time, the long "Gays in the Military" (now Chapter 4) Chapter was
going to be Chapter 3, and the material in the present Chapters 3, 5 and 6 was
presented in four separate chapters, numbered 4 through 7. The text of the
"Right to Privacy" Amendment was to be a separate appendix.
The 1997 form of the book turned out to be more
effective, I believe, because the material is presented in the chronological
sequence in which I actually came to understand it. This was the suggestion of a
literary agent.
