I think Paladin was the "goodest" of the good guys in the old westerns. Matt Dillon, Gil Favor and Rowdy Yates, Ben Cartwright and his boys, Reese Bennet and the other Texas Rangers all were wonderful heroes; but of them all Paladin was my favorite and still is. How many cowboys in the heat of battle would shout to their enemy, "Use your brain!" I'm pretty sure only Mr. Paladin would be so audacious.
Have Gun Will Travel is on dvd now. The writing is really good and the battle between good and evil never goes out of style. One of my favorite activities is to spend a quiet evening knitting in the company of the ultimate good guy, a man called Paladin.
