==> "Figth of the Century and Queston of the Day": Who would win in a fight between James West and James Kirk? ==> another reason security wears red is that red sticks out more and those security guards become more of a target than anyone else. ==> Question: I wonder why security doesn't wear armor? The Marines in Beirut wore them --- but then it didn't help them much either. Maybe something in the line like Stormtrooper armor from Starwars? How 'bout a combination. A small recon unit in flapjackets out in front of the main force which are in heavy armor (like Starwars). Kirk could have used them in "Ap"! ==> Last Saturday and Sunday (normal programming schedule is 1600 sat & 2230 & 2330 sun), I saw "Ap","MM" & "Cg". - It first started out with 4 sec. getting zapped and Spock twice, Kirk hitting Akuta then rest of landing party mawling the natives. - Kyle-2 and Chekov-2 getting agonized, Sulu-2 being slapped by Uhura, Kirk knocking Chekov-2 out, Kirk Knocking out Sulu-2, Kirk Knocking out Spock-2, about 6 sec. being phasered and one knocked out by McCoy via hypo. - 4 sec are zapped, Uhura's mind erased, Scotty Killed then brought back alive. All in all, really a slow, boring weekend!?!? Chris Wayne @ UNM

(or at least a leather-looking fabric). Helmets that look like they came from, "Knute Rockne, All American"? ARGHHHHH!
