　　In his first year of high school, he dropped out. But

　　when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning­disabled class, which lasted one

　　month. Only when the family moved to another town did he

　　land up in a more suitable high school, where he eventually

　　graduated.

　　recalls, in one of those serendipitous moments, his life

　　took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios, he met

　　Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him

　　back sometime to visit.

　　He appeared the next day. Spielberg, dressed in a dark

　　suit, carrying his father's briefcase with nothing inside but

　　a sandwich and candy bars walked confidently up to the

　　guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave.

　　The guard waved back. He was in.

　　dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and

　　writers, including Silvers, who knew the kid wasn't a studio employee, but winked at him. I even found an office

　　directory:

　　Steven

　　Spielberg,

　　Room 23C.”
