I saw "A Private Little War" on Saturday, and I had to chuckle as I saw the nurse using a spray cleaning bottle to wet a cloth in the transporter room when they beamed up with Spock who had just been shot. Surely we will have better methods for moistening a cloth that long from now. -- Michael Barnes Microtel Pacific Research ..!ubc-vision!mprvaxa!barnes

That was not to moisten the cloth (as if it were water), but to apply an anesthetic or other medication. They were always using ordinary household items as medical tools or instruments. On an unrelated topic, Spock's "coffin" was in fact an inert photon torpedo casing. It sure beats wrapping up the body in bandages and dumping it out with the garbage! -- I don't have a silly closing line, Roger Noe UUCP: ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe
