I _would_ call it an episode about homosexuality.  Granted, it was masked.
But if you "read" between the lines it was very clear (IMHO) what was being
said.

The new season is almost upon us.  Paramount has released the first synopsis.

For those of you who have access to satellite reception equipment, Paramount
is uplinking the on-air promo for "Time's Arrow, Part II" a week early, but
at a special time.  I'm afraid that the information that I have doesn't give
the time.  But, I will attempt to find out what it is and let you all know.

Also to be uplinked during the special time will be an "all new season" promo
package.  The lengths will be :30, :10 and :03ID.

Hallmark will be offering a limited run (12 months) Star Trek "glitter
dome".  The dome (remember those snow globes your grandma used to have?)
will feature a scale model of the original Enterprise mounted in a 110mm
globe which sits on a black base embossed with the Star Trek emblem in gold.

Beside the obvious fascination with shaking up the glitter in the globe
for nifty keeno effects, there's an on-off button which throws three colored
beams of light up onto the model inside.  The model runs on batteries
but the Hallmark shop I visited didn't know what size.

This will be the first in a series of three limited run (12 months each)
Star Trek minitures from Willitts Designs and is due out in October.
Cost is estimated at $50.

Jim,
As I was clicking through the channels on cable last night, I came accross 
QVC (a home shopping channel) and there was DeForest Kelly doing a 
guest/promotional appearance! The sales person was asking questions and 
Kelly was answering. QVC was having a Star Trek special!. 

Kelly said that nothing had been decided yet about future movies, but he 
would like them to do so soon so he can decide on the future direction of 
his career.

He said that he was pleased to have been the 1st TOS cast member to provide 
a connection to TNG (Encounter at Far Point).

When asked what sort of role he would like to play if he could have any 
part he wanted, he said he would like to play a "heavy" or an "intriguing 
scoundrel" or do something in the "Lonesome Dove" genre. (There had been 
some mention of his roles in early westerns.)

He said he had never had a desire to write or direct. That after seeing the 
time Nimoy and Shatner invested in their roles as directors, he was 
perfectly happy to go home after work and sit and watch the grass grow.

I can't remember all of what was said, but he was on screen for at least an 
hour, maybe half of that time they were talking about the merchandise, the 
rest was him answering questions.

They said the next Star Trek Special would be on October 11th with Marina 
Sirtis.
I am not affiliated in any way with QVC. Edit this as you see fit.

P.S. They were selling everything from Tribbles to signed cast pictures, 
with a pretty good mix of TOS, TNG and movies. The merchandise was licensed 
by Paramount.

KDS Corporation, a company that sells expert systems and expert system
shells, has a relatively new product:  KDS/VOX, an expert system shell
that accepts yes/no/not-sure answers over a touch-tone phone.  They
have a demo with several sample expert systems.  One is an expert
system for guessing the name of an episode from the first four seasons
of STAR TREK:  THE NEXT GENERATION.

You need a touch-tone phone.  Call 708-251-4975 (that's in Illinois)
any time.  If you want to skip all the prompting (and not listen to the
other possibilities besides ST:TNG), "dial" the following sequence
fairly slowly:  0, 0, 4, 2.  You'll be asked which season you're
looking for (1-4), and then a series of yes/no questions.  "Dial" 1 for
yes, 0 for no, and ## (the "number sign" button twice) if you don't
know the answer.

It's probably best to call outside prime-time, so their you don't block
their "real customers".  If you want to *be* a real customers, here's
their contact information:  KDS Corporation, 934 Cornell St., Wilmette,
IL  60091-1405 USA; voice 1-708-2621; fax 1-708-251-6489.  If you want
to discuss ST:TNG with them, I suggest sending them paper mail, rather
than getting their sales force involved in TV trivia.

I'm not speaking for the company, I'm just speaking my mind.

I have no relation to KDS, except that I'm on their mailing list.

Yes, I'm back.  Thanks for tolerating my vacation.  Boatloads of news to
follow.

I wanted to post an addendum to the volumes of information that have come out
about the Smithsonian Star Trek exhibit.  Everyone who has posted has said
"get there at 9:00 in the morning in order to have a prayer of getting tickets
before 4:30, because after that you won't have enough time to see anything".
For various reasons, I was unable to get to the exhibit until 11:30.  Because
of what I've heard from people here, I almost didn't bother to go, because I
thought it was pointless (and I had to leave the next day).  I walked up to the 
ticket counter and asked for tickets, and the woman said "sure, but I don't
have anything earlier than 12:45".

Not only that, the exhibit was smaller than I'd expected.  It took me 90
minutes to see the entire exhibit, including the 30 minute movie.  And the
exhibit is open until 7:00, so getting in after 4:30 isn't a bad thing.

So in short, the terrible ticket conditions that existed when the exhibit
first opened don't exist anymore.  Plan on getting tickets for two hours after
you arrive (three hours on weekends), but don't let this deter you from trying
to get in.

I am posting this to r.a.s.info/fandom/misc so that everyone gets it.
My apologies to those who read more than 1 of them.

This is in response to the request for info about the Smithsonian 
exhibit. I was in Wash., DC for the 4th of July and obtained an
info sheet about the exhibit. (No I did not see the exhibit because
of the crowds.) I also called the Museum today (8/18) @ 202-786-2122
(recorded public information message).

The exhibit will be there until January 31, 1993.
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

entrance times from 9:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m.  Tickets for entrance
between 4:45 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. are available starting at 4:30 p.m.

Tickets are obtained at the museum by waiting in line.
Advanced tickets are available through TICKETMASTER, in Washington,
for same day access to the exhibit. (Service fee of $2.50 applied). 
Advanced tickets, at least 10 days in advance, are available through
TICKETMASTER (Service fee of $ 3.50 applied - $ 1.00 handling fee
applied to all TicketMaster orders) at the following numbers:

READ THIS IF YOU PLAN TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE!

The following types of articles will not be accepted:
	
	1) Any article which essentially asks a question.

	2) Any article which essentially voices an opinion.

	3) Any article reading "please subscribe me".

Don't send me these.

The most important guideline is ACCURATE ATTRIBUTION.  If you submit a
transcript of an article that appeared in print, I expect the source to be
fully identified before I will accept it.  There are several reasons for
this.  It helps me ensure reasonably accurate and reliable information.  It
gives due credit to those responsible for the information.  Finally, in the
case of printed information, I will generally have to call the source and
obtain permission to reprint the article, and I need as much information
about the article as possible.

In addition, when sending submissions, TITLE YOUR SUBMISSION AS YOU WOULD
LIKE THE ARTICLE TITLED.

Note that both Tribune Media Services ("Marilyn Beck's Grapevine") and the
New York Times refuse reprint permission unless I pay a "usage fee".  If your
submission is from one of these two, then don't spend the time to type the
article in - simply send a very brief summary with a reference so readers can
find the articles themselves.  Feel free to selectively paraphrase articles
if you so desire, keeping "Fair Use" in mind.

Simply attempting to post a submission to rec.arts.startrek.info should cause
the article to be mailed to the correct place.

The following mail addresses exist for your use :

	trek-info@dweeb.fx.com - SEND SUBMISSIONS HERE, NOTHING ELSE.

	trek-info-request@dweeb.fx.com - send newsgroup questions, FTP
		problems, etc. here. Do *not* send submissions here.
		Note that I do not provide articles via email - don't
		even ask.

	griffith@scam.berkeley.edu - report problems with the first two
		aliases or send general Star Trek questions here.

	vidiot!brown%astroatc.UUCP@cs.wisc.edu - send questions regarding the
		STTNG PROGRAM GUIDE, the PARAMOUNT PRESS RELEASES, or the
		current STTNG AIRDATE SCHEDULE here.

	noe@cs.uiuc.edu - send questions regarding the STTNG CREDITS
		here.

	cwayne%hydra.unm.edu@ariel.unm.edu - send changes to the list of
		STAR TREK/STTNG STATIONS and their airing times here.

Mail addresses permitting, I will reply, yes or no, to all submissions.

If you have comments, criticisms, suggestions, requests for archive
information, etc., send mail to "trek-info-request@dweeb.fx.com".

Please be reminded that effective September 8, 1992 the
National Air and Space Museum will be closing at 5:30 pm
and the guards will be clearing the Star Trek exhibit at
5:20 pm. 
If your scheduled entry time is 4:00 pm or later, it's
a good idea to watch the 28 minute documentary on the wide
screen tv located on the 1st floor East corridor prior to
entry. This is the same video shown inside the exhibit
theatre. You'll assure yourself ample time to look around 
plus avoid a very crowded last showing within the exhibit.

An excellent series shown on public television and on the Arts and
Entertainment (A&E) cable network is the Sherlock Holmes series
starring Jeremy Brent (spelling?).  But for Marina Sirtis fans
the episode "The Six Napoleons" was special, for Marina made
a cameo appearance playing an Italian woman.
