The editor writes:
Don't believe everything you read. How many times have you heard that? But, AHA! Have you ever read it anywhere???
This belief applies to reports on the Star Trek revival, especially. I have in my hand a report by the Star Trek Welcommittee that plans a SERIES next spring but still just that -- plans. Oh, well, another false alarm, it seems. But I DID get a postcard from Paramount addressed to "Dear Trekkie" (how little THEY know), announcing the new movie. I can just see the studio mailing out millions of those things to stop the floods of mail that no double come in when the movie is produced.
