Folks,
	I have just returned from a weekend at Lunacon the New
York/New Jersey regional event and there I witnessed an amazing
slide show presented by Howard Weinstein (author of The Covenant of
the Crown) on Star trek III: The Search for Spock.
	That is now the final title of the film and it looks like it
will be a winner!  Howard was not releasing lots of info about the
film but he did say enough to get the following summary:
	The film starts with the Enterprise limping home after the
battle with Khan.  The ship enters a starbase in Earth orbit that
dwarfs the ship and Kirk is relieved of command.  Apparently the
federation is upset with Kirk over the episode since the Romulans
and Klingons view the Genesis bomb as a weapon.
	All I know about the rest of the plot is that Sarek (played
by Mark Lenard) comes to visit Kirk,  McCoy goes on a drinking binge,
upset because he didn't talk Spock out of committing suicide, and
Kirk watches computer tapes of McCoy and Spock in Engineering and
himself and Spock in the famous death scene.  He then SOMEHOW gets
back the Enterprise (Howard wouldn't say how but the implication of
the slides and his wording is that Kirk and his crew STEAL the ship
back.  We'll have to wait till June 1 to find out for sure) and goes
off in search for Spock.
	James B. Sikking (of Hill Street Blues fame) plays the
commander of the Excelsior the next generation ship after the
Enterprise and it is equipped with something called Trans-warp drive
and Christpher Lloyd (of Taxi fame) plays a klingon commander.  I
have no idea how they affect the story but I can't wait to find out!

I wish today were June 1 !!!!

Saul
