Earlier in his career, he had held editorial positions at McGraw-Hill, Walker and Company, and several industrial trade magazines.
McGraw-Hill also published his work for popular readers Yesterday and Today: A Dictionary of Recent American History[5] (1979, reissued twice since by Penguin).
Among his translations of French fiction were (also with Eleanor) Émile Zola's Germinal[10] (New American Library, 1970); Jules Renard's Poil de Carotte, and Other Plays[11] (Ungar, 1977); and Simone Signoret's Adieu, Volodya[12] (Random House, 1986).
After completing his undergraduate degree at Brooklyn College, he returned on the GI Bill to Paris to study at the Sorbonne and then earned an MA at Columbia University.
