Monday, November 22: in 1968, southern NBC affiliates balk when the 
first interracial kiss is implied on "Star Trek." When the crew lands on 
a planet ruled by "Plato's Stepchildren," the crew are used as 
playthings by a group of aliens who have based their culture on ancient 
Greece. Among the humiliations of the crew, for the amusement of the 
Platonians -- a kiss between Captain James Kirk and Communications 
Officer Lt. Nyota Uhura. The scene was actually filmed two ways: one 
with a fully shown kiss, the other with the embrace shown from behind 
William Shatner's head. Though controversial, the kiss was just a miss.
