He commanded a Marine infantry platoon during the Korean War and was plagued with violent dreams for years after wartime experiences. During some years in New York City while working as a journalist and later as a publicist he battled himself out of a severe alcohol problem. His university sweetheart rejoined him him after he transferred to Chicago and they soon became expatriates in Europe. After he death he ridded himself of possessions and became a worldwide nomad.
