Kirk's counterpart, Lieutenant Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy), prized cold logic. Half-human, half pointy-eared green-blooded native of the planet Vulcan, the ship's science officer delighted in complex calculation, excelled at the mystical mindmeld and the mundane "Spock pinch," and continually confronted the fluctuations of Kirk's human emotions with rigorous Vulcan rationality.

Anthony Burgess is a fantasist who has bad dreams. The Clockwork Orange (TIME, Feb. 15) concerned a police state so extreme that a teen-age rapist who talks in half-human gibberish be comes a symbol of heroic rebellion.
