Something that has always bothered me about this episode: since the change in 
history was caused by Edith remaining around to form a pacifist movement leading
to the loss of WWII, why didn't Kirk a) explain to Edith what would happen if
she did so (showing her the necessary evidence such as the tricorder pictures)
and ask her not to form the movement and/or b) take Edith with him into the
future (it's probably against regulations, but so are a lot of things Kirk
does).
