If I remember right, Berg was also basically tossed aside by the Secret Service/CIA after his spy work in Japan. He was rehired later in a lesser capacity. But he was essentially homeless for awhile and would wander around, living with friends and relatives. He was one of the smartest and most educated (and most fluent) men in America, and the government just used him and tossed him away.
One of the pieces I really loved in our last Heritage auction was Berg's actual Europe Eurail train pass from one of his spy trips.
