STIAWOL. Stee-ah-wol. Star Trek Is A Way Of Life. It was a television program that boldy went where no T.V. program had gone before: into a bizarre space-time continuum that social scientists termed a subculture, style writers called a fad, pop-culture analysts hailed as a phenomenon, and Time Magazine, in its wisdom, dismissed as a "cult vogue of the half-educated...

...certain neo-fascist groups in Europe as validation for their claims and substantiation of their predictions about the nature and dangers of sociobiology. This is reminiscent of nothing so much as the recent case of the New England seer who foretold the burning of a factory and then went and set the fire.
