That episode's premise always struck me as utterly ridiculous, and was just a way of being topical. My eating club (Stevenson Hall, Princeton University, circa 1975) established an in-house ratings guide from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The solitary episode that rated a five, I believe, was "The Trouble with Tribbles". It's my father's favorite as well. 3)My First S.F.-comic books, including the translation of the Frencch Tin-Tin's. Also, Citizen of the Galaxy and Runaway Robot by Lester del Ray. 4) WAPP, a New York, northern New JerseyFM rock station is at 102.5 on that rather crowded dial. I did not know they were broadcasting Dr. Demento, andd I would appreciate someone telling me whenit's on. 5) Someone (sorry I missed the name) suggested discussions on comic book topics or some such. Although I enjoy them, I have given up reading them for now mostly because I cannot afford them. I do credit comic books with my early interest in science, expansion of my vocabulary, and love of reading-despite the anti-intellectual connotation they entail. --Nathaniel Feldman -------
