All from the midwest and college thinking he would be a literature major but watergate changed him to Political Science and then he went on to graduate school at mit and it was International Relations and nuclear strategy. Then he moved to washington with the house of representatives house policy advisor but you know government work, he decided that wasnt for him so then he left and wrote the widely acclaimed book of armageddon. And t then spent time at the boston globe because they were looking for experts inn defense he stayed there 20 years as bureau chief in moscow, bureau chief in new york city.
