The followup about the "Abraham Lincoln Episode" brought to my mind this idea:

	Why are most of the names of Star Trek episodes so tangentially
	related to the actual subject matter?  Although, with a little
	thought and some mental video playback I can usually remember
	the subject matter given the title, there are still a few episodes
	with such stupidly-chosen titles that they always escape me.
	Perhaps I miss some subtlety, but I can't be that blind.

WITHOUT checking, can you name, in less than 5 seconds each, the episodes
for which the miniplots are given below?

	NOMAD terrorizes Enterprise

	Abraham Lincoln and Sarek help Spock & Kirk defeat historical nasties

	Crazy woman takes over Kirk's body with aid of corrupt doctor

	Transmutable asylum inmate wants to take over universe with Enterprise

	Asylum director tortures patients by emptying their minds

	Blind woman wants to mind-link with ugly ambassador-in-a-box

	Enterprise establishes first visual contact with Romulans

	Greek god wants worship from Enterprise crew

	Crazy starship captain phasers Yangs but stars & stripes prevail


The titles of the following are forever fusing in my memory:

	Librarian invites McCoy, Kirk, and Spock to choose interesting pasts

	Glowing-globe people want to use crew's bodies to build new ones

	Enterprise accidentally energizes two Air Force personalities


Don't respond, everybody KNOWS the answers.  These episodes seemed to be
foolishly titled to me.  Defense of these titles is welcome.
