In line with The Wrath of Khan director, he believed that relationship to be principally nice till he visited the College of Iowa; this was his alma mater, and the college’s library had lots of his previous papers and correspondence. This included an “change of memoranda between me and Gene Roddenberry” that exposed one thing stunning: their relationship was very private and in all of the incorrect methods.
