I recently went to see ST III (again) and couldn't figure something out.
What was the "baton-like"  implement that the Captain of the Excelsior was
holding during various times.  He has it on the bridge and in his cabin
when called to pursue the Enterprise and I think when he says "good-night"
to Scotty.  I looked pretty hard and for the life of me it STILL looks
like a broken squash racquet.  Maybe it is.
