...hospital like a yoyo. When he was out, he committed attention-getting crimes like holding up a grocery, then leaving without the cash. A Fort Worth reporter got wind of him and played him up as a hero who had fallen on bad days. A psychiatrist treating Eatherly declared that he was suffering from a guilt complex for bombing Hiroshima...
