With professional help (one of his best friends from his Marine Corps years had become a Jungian Psychotherapist) he made peace with having survived the war (with a massive wound to his posterior) while every other Marine in his company perished in battle. For Lee Marvin, his war was finally over. He reconnected with his high school sweetheart (herself a veteran of a bad marriage); they married and moved to Arizona, where Marvin lived his final happy years. He rests (as he should) among his fellows in a simple grave at Arlington National Cemetery.

I read somewhere when interviewing the 2 killers for the book "In Cold Blood", he didn't use a tape recorder b/c he knew he had around 80-85% recall of the conversations, so "Why bother?"

    Honest story:
    I took IQ tests in college and scored extremely well. Made nearly no difference in my life as it never translated into money-making activities, art, writing, or so on.
    There are a people a helluva lot smarter than me, and they succeed. There are people who aren't very smart at all, but have good personal appeal and they succeed.
    There are quite a few "me" out there, more than a few just end up homeless. Intelligence not applied well yields nothing.

    I find with so many people of a higher intelligence, if you would, always say they were bored in school. A 185 at age 6, insane. My oldest daughter scored 156 which is super good almost genius. What an impressive man. Anyway, back to my point. Lol. Obviously, I'm no Truman Capote. 🤣 But the boredom steams from them already knowing the subject matter that is being taught and also that the maturity of these "geniuses" is surprised most students and maybe even some teachers. My score was not so impressive but I also haven't tested in almost 2 decades. At that point though, it was a 132. It may have dropped with age. 🤣 I'm hoping that isn't the case because I'd like to think I know a little more now than I did then. Ty for sharing.
