Subversive. The Manchurian Candidate and Steamboat Bill, Jr. are films forever imprinted on me because of David Paletz. I ended up with a Master's Degree at USC Annenberg because of David. I will never forget the look of terror on Edward Dmytryk's face when I sped him from RDU airport to campus in my '69 Firebird convertible for David's class called "The Hollywood Ten." No other teacher has ever come close to the impact Professor Paletz has had on my critical thinking. I will be forever grateful.
