...as that souless minion of orthodoxy, Zorch, was saying...
 ZF> Ha!  Never!
 
 Ah Ha ! Always!
 JH>  Okay, now in a television special about ST, Shatner and Nichols 
 JH> both  made  mention of their onscreen interracial kiss being
 JH>  ground-breaking. _I_  thought that was on account of the 
 JH> kiss being the first passionate  interracial one on TV.
 ZF> At the time it was done, it was widely accepted and believed to be the
 ZF> case...the new information is about 3-4 years old. 
 ZF> However, the information came forward from a few students doing
 ZF> research at the UCLA Film School, going through TV archives.  The
 ZF> story I've heard was that it was a matter of researching how
 ZF> minorities were portrayed in TV shows, and discovering that not all
 ZF> Negroes of the era were portrayed "a la AMOS 'N ANDY"...they found the
 ZF> all kinescopes of the show, the only existing copies, and one of them
 ZF> portrayed the interracial kiss.  The clips I saw of the show did not
 ZF> include the scene, but the news report made mention of it.  Later, it
 ZF> was in a 'retrospective' of TV history...another mention, but no clip
 ZF> of the scene itself. 
 
 I could have  sworn I've seen the ST scene we're writing of. Are you talking
 about something else here??
  
  
 ZF>> -zf-  Pord.
 JH>        ^^^^
 JH>  Code?? To whom? Are you a participant in some intergalactic 
 JH> conspiracy  to  infuse the languages of Earth with 
 JH> nonsensical gibberish? Which then will  leave us confused and 
 JH> easy prey for some intergalactic conqueror? Are you in  
 JH> league with a Borg-like species or the Borg itself?
 ZF> Ed Lee.  Get...message...to Ed...Lee................
 ZF> -zf-  Veet.

 I am assuming your plans to conquer and ravage the planet are going
