Okay...
	I just saw the Alternative Factor last night (the one with the
parallel universes, Lazarus, the negative magnetic corridor --- ring
a bell ?).  It never occured to me before but:

	Why doesn't Kirk just kill the insane Lazarus ??  That way the 
identical particles can't meet.  Even if you say that killing one kills
the other  (I'm not sure the part in the show where destroying one ship
destroys the other really follows) wouldn't Lazarus rather be
dead than "trapped for all eternity"  ("all eternity" isn't that redundant
and repetitive?)
