There was plenty of nature and nurture to cause little surprise when Ken's depression hit with full fury at the very end of his college years. His relationship to Vera is an amazing story in its own right. Since her contacting me, we have exchanged a number of e-mails that have, if not rewritten Ken's story, have certainly clarified and solidified memories, impressions, and thoughts about Ken's past.
As I wrote to Vera: Now, I have no doubt that, though there was certainly a biochemical element in his struggle to be happy, his inability to maintain his relationship with you and loss of hope for the future was arguably far more important than I ever realized.
The reason was the Cold War, not Ken's love of life, or Vera...more later.
