...retired from the U.S. Navy, and he had quit spying for the Soviet Union. But he was miserable. Unemployed and living on his $1,200-a-month service pension, the former chief radioman kept house in an olive-colored trailer in Davis, Calif., while his wife pursued her Ph.D. in hopes of helping to support them both.
