Several of America's brilliant young men in psychology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis are former students of Dave.
A Dr. Wiswell was put over him in Iowa.
That was when he began to read law.
He took the New York Bar exams in 1935 and went to work for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer that year.
During the war, he was commissioned a captain in the Medical Corps and sent (by a General Muller, a Regular Army doctor who thought Hitler a great man and psychiatry bunk) to Alaska, to study the effects upon mental stamina of cold, isolation, and monotony.
For the first time in his life, and after twenty months of Alaska, Dave pulled strings in his own behalf.
He was assisting the OSS—a major, then—in figuring out methods of hastening the deterioration of Nazi morale—when they came through the Bulge. Dave stayed at a forward subheadquarters to manage the tourniquet on his colonel's bomb-shattered leg.
Hurrying German troops took the colonel prisoner and shot Dave four times, on sight.
