With the Starship Enterprise seemingly doomed after losing warp power, Mr. Spock exposes himself to lethal radiation in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. After repairing the engines and saving the day, Spock dies.

Officials at the Department of Defense, seeking remedies for the radiation sickness that would follow a nuclear strike, were so taken by the research that they recently gave Tour a $540,000 grant and asked him to compress the next phase of testing into an almost unheard-of nine months.

Rade Prica provides shot in the arm to bring relief for Sunderland

On a fine night for unheralded heroes at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland clambered out of the relegation zone courtesy of two players still to establish themselves as household names anywhere other than their own homes. Daryl Murphy and Rade Prica slip from the memory more readily than they slip off the tongue, but the goals they plundered could hardly have been more vital.

Keane has struggled to attract established players to his club — Robbie Savage, Matt Taylor and Stephen Hunt have all been targeted and failed to appear — but on this occasion the lesser figures proved inspirational.

Will anti-racists cheer for Obama?

I wonder what Lee Jasper, Ken Livingstone's big-mouthed race equality adviser, really makes of the idea of Barack Obama being president of the United States. Really makes of it, deep down inside. I wonder, too, what the Muslim Council of Britain feels about the prospect. Or anyone else who owes their position on the public stage to vociferous campaigning against racism.

Over the past fortnight the former President has been stumping hard for his wife.

For rookies, USHL is an education like no other

Maybe they were embarrassed when they tripped the night a scout was watching.Lincoln rookie Jared Festler recalls his first shift of the regular season as a huge eye-opener. Yes, a league newbie learns quickly that no matter how good you thought the league you played in before was — it wasn't. Every player in the USHL was an all-star on their last team."In high school I'd be able to skate end-to-end and score by myself, but you would never be able to do that in this league," said Tyler Kieffer, just before the rookie was traded by Lincoln to Everett (Wash.) of the Western Hockey League.For many, the USHL is their first taste of the demands of the real world. One night, you've scored two goals and are singing country tunes with your buddies, and the next, the coach is telling you to clean out your locker.But should you survive the rigors of the league, the rewards are great.

Across the Universe: 2-Disc Deluxe Edition (2008)

As a delivery system for injecting a new generation with Beatles music, Across the Universe is efficient as well as playful and ferocious — much like the Fab Four themselves. The movie is almost an opera: plot primarily conveyed through song. And while Universe's thin 1960s-era romance never achieves the emotional complexity of even so ''simple'' a song as ''All My Loving,'' the film sure knows how to present that melody with an energy and visual invention that make you adore the tune all the more.

We TV fans already knew that Universe's female lead, Evan Rachel Wood, had a beautiful voice from the few times she sang on the ABC series Once and Again. The rest of the lesser-known cast, meanwhile — particularly Wood's romantic interest, played by Jim Sturgess — have expressive instruments that only occasionally succumb to the Broadway-style belting that characterizes so many movie musicals.
