Warren was a professor at Minnesota in '48, and my parents' first date was the premiere of the stage version of All the King's Men. When they came out for my graduation, I took them up to the Yale Medical Center to meet him. He was recovering from near-fatal liver failure, and they warmly thanked him for his in loco parentis supervision of me. I'll certainly check out the film. Thought Penn was very good in Mystic River, very bad after Hurricane Katrina.
