David, How have you been? The CMU group that I worked in and Pearl's group at UCLA worked in the same area. As I recall, he invented the concept of d-separation and our group created algorithms to use it in inferring causal models based on observational data (i.e. not experimental). My colleagues were Spirtes, Glymour, and Scheines.
I will look for the book you mentioned.
