City on the Edge of Forever is widely considered the Best of Star Trek
A Comic book version came out recently, Truer to his vision.
The world is now dumber, but maybe a little less grumpy!

Hi everyone,
Many fond memories of Harlan Ellison. One of my favorite writers. A particular Harlan Ellison quote stands out to me:
"My work is my work. It is my property... I'm a writer. All I have to support me in my declining old age is the work I have written. It cannot be bandied about and passed around on the Internet just because some pissant thinks he has the right to do it."
I found that in the June 7, 2000 issue of USA Today. It's truth as far as I'm concerned.
Robert
