Summary: 


[Project Athena -- MIT's very own Greek tragedy]

	I just saw "The Tholian Web" the other night, and it shattered
forever my conception of Spock as an honest man, er, Vulcan.  During the
course of the episode, Kirk is assumed dead.  Spock and McCoy follow
Kirk's standing last order, which is to view a tape prepared by Kirk for
just such a situation.  At the end of the show, however, Kirk (who has
of course been saved) asks the pair if the tape helped them through the
crisis.  Both repeatedly deny having viewed it.  Sigh, if one cannot
depend upon Spock's honesty, what can one depend upon?
