* there is a description of the ST play that was put on in Denham Springs. It contains a quote from Gene Roddenberry: "I have no objection to plays similar to Star Trek or even identical to Star Trek if done by students or community groups on a nonprofit basis as long as appropriate credit is given to the source material and individuals. Or as long as a production remains a community theatre venture. I have no objection to it involving some profit as long as that profit is used in the interest of that community theatre program." There is much more at Star Date 3113.7.

* A Dealer in Kevas by Ruth Berman (4) (an article about Spock's disguise in "Errand of Mercy" as a Vulcan dealer in "kevas and trillium." The etymology of the words is discussed to discern the possible nature of these items. Mentions that keva (no s) was mentioned in Harlan Ellison's original script for "The City on the Edge of Forever", quoting Spock's line that he can't eat much Earth food and needs youbash and keva.Youbash has turned up in a couple of fan stories; in Claire Gabriel's The Thousandth Man it's protein-rich and low-carb, and in Joyce Yasner's Kraith story "Equity" it can be stuffed.)
* Spock's Argument, part one of two, by Jacqueline Lichtenberg (8) (fiction, a Kraith story). (A sacred Kraith chalice is stolen, and even though it is recovered, the Vulcan committee investigating the incident recommends that Vulcan secede from the Federation for its own protection. Spock, with his friend Tanya Minos, prepares to have her use an ancient Vulcan art form to present arguments against secession. Along the way, out of sheer necessity, they form a matrimonial bond.)
* Prologues by Pat Kienly, a story that gives an ulterior motive to the Romulan commandress' reaction to Spock (reprinted in Despatch) (35)
* Review Dept (39)
* T-Waves: Letters (42)
* Old Time Reviews: The Lieutenant (46)
* Includes the announcement: "Elyse Pines and Al Schuster have announced a Star Trekcon.... It'll be 21-23 Jan. 1972 at the McAlpin Hotel in New York City." See Mini Trek Con.
* Bruce Nardoci says he's changing the name of his zine from The Captain's Log to "The Guardian of Forever", though it is unclear if this zine got off the ground. This is probably not the same zine as Guardian of Forever.

*Cousinage by Ruth Berman reprints two panels from a British Star Trek comic book along with an article about the story known only as the "thirteenth UK story arc" (although individual chapters had titles). It is about Spock's cousin Horek, who serves aboard a Federation guardship. The captain is very cruel, and the crew mutinies and plans to join the Klingons. (Oh yeah, that'll work.) Berman renames the man S'Horek to conform with then-current Vulcan naming conventions, and speculates a bit about Spock's possible childhood relationship with him. (4) Thirteenth UK Story Arc at Memory Alpha.
*"Sentience Is Where You Find It" by Melisa Michaels (An innocuous-seeming energy being is beamed aboard the Enterprise, following Captain Kirk. Spock does a mind meld to communicate with it, but it slips inside him and begins to control his actions, getting him to take a shuttlecraft and fly towards the sun. Michaels has Spock speaking Dorothy Jones Heydt's Vulcan language.) (8)
*"Spock's Argument Part II" by Jacqueline Lichtenberg (27).
* T-Waves, the letters section: Jacqueline Lichtenberg appreciates "The Vigil", and explains her Kraith universe. Also, "There are so far seven stories of the secondary series, and more are being written by authors other than myself. A bibliography should be available soon from Mike Sobota. In addition , one person is seriously considering using an alternate Kraith Universe diverging from mine somewhat after 'Affirmation,' but adhering to the general background; quasi fact articles explaining some of the technical points of the background are also proliferating; a Vulcan art from introduced in a short story called 'Zyeto' may soon be appearing in various zines; a series of short essays for potential Kraith authors who want to use unpublished ideas has begun to coalesce into a Kraith Writer's Manual. This [all these fanworks] explain why readers may be encountering weirdly variant Kraith-ish ideas in other zines under other names (I ask other Kraith writers to use their correct names.) Each story that I approve into the series is assigned a number, but editors don't always print the number, so it may be difficult to orient the story within the series. If anyone finds such a story and wants more information, write me, and I'll be happy to provide what information I can." (see example image in section for issue #15)
