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. Even though he often sparred verbally and physically, with Kirk and Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), the crusty old ship's surgeon from Georgia, Spock demonstrated that his heart was in the right place (about where the liver is in humans...
...does warm to her new neighbor, Count Dracula. The caped leech has been visiting more regularly than anyone realizes--and not to borrow cups of sugar, either. It is only a matter of time before the heroic trinity of Seward, Hacker and Van Helsing realize what evil, half-human force they must fight in their quest to save Lucy.

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. The Wanting Seed is far less disastrous, but in its penny-plain style, it is a portrait of an anti-utopia that can be ranked with those of Orwell and Huxley...
