...city by the bay. ''One lady even approached me after watching the shoot,'' reports Leonard Nimoy (Spock), ''and said, 'I thought you were a monk or a priest.' '' In the latest, $23 million installment of the TV-turned-movie series, slated for December release, the whole Enterprise gang, led by William Shatner, journeys back in time 300 years to Starfleet's first home base, San Francisco, to save planet earth from an alien life form that had its beginnings in the 20th century. (No, it's not Cheez Whiz.) Perhaps in honor of Star Trek's upcoming 20th anniversary...

In the modern Senate, no one played that role as effectively as Jesse Helms, who died early Friday in Raleigh, N.C., at 86. For 30 years, Helms took controversial, sometimes outrageous positions on race, foreign relations and the culture wars, courting controversy and infuriating rivals but often outmaneuvering his centrist and liberal rivals.
