    Just what could be so "explicit" that the Paramount has actually
*recalled* the book?!?!?  I've never heard of a book being recalled
in recent times.  Is the Moron Majority infiltrating Paramount?
This stinks of Falwellian machinations. [1/2 :-)]  Or was it just
something that was not considered to be believable Star Trek?
    Can someone provide a more complete story?
