...girlfriend to an exclusive restaurant, where the waiters stick them off in a corner and where other customers ogle the black couple as if they were birds in a zoo. Jones' girlfriend is mortified. He trembles between panic and rage. Looking around the room, he sees a white ensign and a "very blond girl" sitting with an older couple, evidently the parents of one of them. Jones and the ensign have been casually admiring each other's girlfriend, and when their eyes meet neither shows hostility, "only a mild surprise and a sharp interest."

Finally, chief nurse Christine Chapel (Majel Barrett Roddenberry) drooled over Spock...

Turner would more than qualify for a top Government slot. Insists a Carter aide: "We have been looking in the last two weeks for different kinds of people, for a new face. Jimmy has high respect for Turner." This sentiment seems to be shared by the admiral's service colleagues, who admire his intellectual breadth, capacity for hard work and -what...
