Star Trek is the cover story in this week’s Newsweek, dated May 4th. There are two articles:
“We’re all Trekkies Now” http://www.newsweek.com/id/195082
“Vulcans Never, Ever Smile” (by a former Star Trek writer) http://www.newsweek.com/id/195083
Thanx Hypatia! This is a good primer for noobies. Good summary of the series fandom and history. Explains the love and devotion of fans and why.
