RE: The article a couple of days ago pointing out the clever name "Atoz" (A to Z) in the Startrek eposode in which he was a librarian. Nice observation! However, you did NOT notice - as was clear from your spelling of "Etevecron" - that some thinking went into the name of the machine. I alwaays assumed it was "Atavachron", from "atavism - Resemblance to remote ancestors rather than parents; reversion to earlier type" and "chron-", refering to time (as in chronograph) (from Greek khronos, time). Exactly what the show was about! -- Jerry decvax!yale-comix!leichter leichter@yale
