An introduction to the new magazine, including a why Star Trek was chosen as the subject of the first issue.
Star Trek consistently dealt with serious issues--ethics, politics, sex, technology, war, prejudice, metaphysics--within the framework of heroism and romance, while maintaining a sense of expectation . . . a sense that mankind's destiny is noble and that there is a perfectly good chance of our realizing that potential. The very format of Star Trek was, by deliberate intention, inspiring.
