Sobol's career began as a copy boy for the New York Sun, and he eventually worked his way up to reporter. After the War Sobol graduated from Oberlin College with a degree in English literature in 1948. Donald attended the NYC Ethical Culture Fieldston School and then served for two years during World War II with the Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific Theatre.
