*Time Out by Jerry Modene and Terry Roguski (Despite the fact this was the title of the editorial going forward, this appears to have been the first part of a story. However, despite there being no gaps in the pagination, it is missing. It is, however, mentioned by the editor as being planned for the next issue: We will have "Time Out," which is chapter two in my continuing saga of the good ship Enterprise and her crew.")
*"Attention All Trekkies Bulletin" and one of the many false rumors: "Gene Roddenberry announced on Feb.2,1975, one day before press run, that Star Trek is returning to N.B.C.! It will be in the form of 90 minute special to be aired in the spring of '76. There will be 90 minute to two hour specials during the regular season. Roddenberry also announced that the entire original cast will be a part of the show.") (In the next issue, the editor prints a retraction of this; Helen Young of the Star Trek Welcommittee alerted him that this was all false.) (11)
