/* Education and career */ deleted reference to service in the Korean War; the source says that but he was 11 years old when the war ended. Vietnam war is the obvious substitution but none of the articles that I had access to make that statement.
/* Education and career */ deleting "He then joined the [[Naval academy]]" He joined the Navy and later served at (or attended?) the Navy Service Schools Command but it seems unlikely he had time or incentive to get a bachelors degree from the University of Utah and also "join the Naval academy."
