Its five-year mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldy go where no one has gone before!" So begins the opening sequence of "Star Trek," a new science-fiction program on NBC. The narration is by William Shatner, a veteran "character actor" who appeared on three episodes of "The Twilight Zone," and now plays the Enterprise's commanding officer, Captain James F. Kirk. Series creator Gene Roddenberry had wanted to name his captain "James T. Kirk," but it was suggested to him that the captain have the same initials as the President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The fact that the first episode, "Where No One Has Gone Before," is airing a night after Apollo I was launched, beginning America's Moom project, helps the series out tremendously as far as viewership is concerned. With the Moon apparently about three, maybe two years away, suddenly going into the far reaches of space doesn't seem so far-fetched. The show's fans, a.k.a. "Trekkies" (or "Trekkers," for those who want to be taken a little more seriously) make famous several of the show's catchphrases. "Take us out of orbit, Mister Sulu, ahead, warp factor one!" "Highly illogical." "He's dead, Jim." "I'm a doctor, not a (fill in the blank)." "Captain, what are ye doin' to my engines?" "Hailing frequencies open, Captain." "Kirk to Enterprise: One to beam up." But, for the record, neither Shatner as Captain Kirk, nor any other character, ever says, "Beam me up, Scotty" during the run of the show.

| 1972 | 4142 Add An Event | The Summit Series is getting ridiculous. With defenceman Bobby Orr and goalie Ken Dryden performing superbly, and Bobby Hull, Phil Esposito and Yvan Cournoyer scoring almost at will, Canada defeats the Soviet team 7-2 in Game 4 at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, sweeping the four games played under the Maple Leaf Flag. Interviewed after the game, Espo, dripping with sweat, showing that, despite the ease of the score, he truly was working very hard, tells his country, "To the people across Canada, we're the better team, but the Soviets tried. They gave it their best. And to the people that boo them, geez, I'm really, all of us guys are really impressed at the talent the Soviets have. We cannot believe the bad press they've got, the booing they've gotten. I cannot believe it. Some of their guys are really, really down in the dumps. You know, they're trying like hell. I mean, they're doing the best they can, and they love this great game of hockey just like we do, and let's face facts. But it doesn't mean that they're not giving it their 150 percent, because they certainly are, just as we are." The Soviet players will never forget Espo's class, and, in retrospect, Canadian fans come to agree with his assessment of the Russian players.

| 1974 | 4147 Add An Event | A month after major heart-bypass surgery, former President John F. Kennedy speaks publicly about his health for the first time. He reveals, in painfully honest detail, how he has kept himself alive with varying kinds of prescription drugs for the last 30 years or so. "Because I was a public figure," he says, "I was able to receive prescriptions that were carefully monitored, which prevented me from becoming psychologically dependent upon them. But, instead of becoming addicted, another problem developed. The use of all these drugs, piling up since I was a young man, place a great strain on my heart, until I suffered a heart attack last month. Thanks to some new advances in medical technology, I can now receive new drugs that will be less of a strain on me. But because I was rich and famous, I was lucky. Many people are not. It is not just the young, who may be buying psychoactive drugs illegally on the street, who are suffering. Millions of people are addicted to prescription drugs, which they receive legally, and are afraid to speak up. But Eleanor Roosevelt taught us that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Let us take some steps forward so that there no longer needs to be a stigma about it. These are not criminals, shooting people on the street. These are regular, everyday Americans, who couldn't handle an illness, and were given something for it by their doctors, and now are unable to handle the cure. Let us help them. I call on President Reagan and his advisors to begin a push for drug rehabilitation, for all who suffer." Discuss This Timeline (0 Entries So Far) | Previous Event Next Event | |
