	Actually, the theory I liked best was that Khan lied when he
said that the slugs would kill their victims.
/* ---------- */
A theory I like even more is that the  brainworm  layed  eggs  in
Chekov's mind, then crawled out to die.  A few days after the end
of ST2, They hatched  and  Chekov  died  horribly  in  a  fit  of
gibbering insanity.

Or Dr. McCoy destroyed the eggs with an ultrasound feinberger, or
radiation therapy, or a salt shaker.

        "Ah yes,  the  brainslug.   Ivan  the  Terrible  used  it
        "on dissidents.  It was inwented in Russia."
