Speaking of Star Trek
Like the film The Wizard of Oz, this author believes the original Star Trek televison series from the 1960s has become such an ingrained part of American speech, values, and sensibilities that a newcomer to the United States would do well to become familiar with the look, the feel and the vocabulary of the show. The original Star Trek, and the motion pictures and television sequels it spawned, command a huge following, including annual conventions of "Trekkies," sales of memorabilia, and every possible variety of book, magazine, audio and video.
