don, but they are gone. I hope to
dig up a little of this literary dust
myself before I’m transferred
elsewhere or decide to chance re
tirement.
“I would like to set down in
black and white my indebtedness
to the three people in particular
who have influenced me most and
who showed me the way to writ
ing for profit. There was, first of
all, the late Captain Walter Karig,
who supervised the writing of the
Navy’s classic Battle Reports,
books that reported the different
phases of World War II, and later,
the Korean War. Captain Karig put
me on the trail of some of my first
published articles. Then there is
Captain Allan R. Bosworth about
whom I talked earlier, a Navy
Public Relations man who can
turn a phrase like few men I have
known. Although throughout the
years I was to know ‘Captain Boz’
-he was never to see the things I
wrote until after they appeared in
print, his indirect advice was to
have a great effect on the things I
later wrote. This indirect advise
was there to learn from every time
he sat down and talked about writ
ing problems he had faced at dif
ferent times, and how he had re
solved them.
“The third greatest influence
was another Naval officer, a four
striper named William J. Lederer,
who gained considerable fame
when he collaborated with Eugene
Burdick in writing the novel, The
Ugly American.
"I met them all, for the first
time, soon after I reported for
duty on the staff of All Hands in
1948. Each man, in his own way,
helped me immeasurably.”
The first major story the Navy
free-lancer ever sold was to This
Week Magazine, a Sunday supple
ment carried by newspapers
throughout the United States. It
was a two page article on the ro
tation of a Marine replacement
draftee during the Korean War.

This was in 1950. After that there
were others, interspersed with
‘quickies’ for the pulps.
The chief added to the advice
already given to prospective writ
ers, “A writer must be all things
to all people, kind, sympathetic,
but to become a really good writer,
to turn out prose designed for im
mortality, he must be willing to do
anything, use anything, even to
destroy and be ruthless, if he is to
achieve the thing he values most.”
