That was a headline from today's (29 March) issue of _USA Today_;
article follows:
RIVERSIDE, Iowa -- This town of 826 decided this week
to venture where no town has gone before. The City Council
proclaimed the town the birthplace of Capt. James T. Kirk --
_Star Trek_'s TV hero. The book _The Making of Star Trek_
says Kirk was born in a small Iowa town. "No small town in
Iowa has ever claimed to be the birthplace, so we figured it
was first come, first served," Councilman Steve Miller said.
The town logo will be changed from "Where the best begins"
to "Where the trek begins."
Made it almost worth buying the paper...
