TREK SPECS
George Takei's autobiography ``To the Stars'' (Pocket Books) is now available at bookstores. ``I labored long and hard and I want people to know this is the only genuine autobiography from amongst my `Trek' colleagues,'' Takei says. ``It begins with my childhood, growing up in internment camps, then moves on to my struggles to make it as an actor. It also covers my political activism, my pride in being an Asian-American, as well as my galactic journey with Gene Roddenberry's creation `Star Trek.''' ... Michael Dorn completed the independent science-fiction fantasy film ``Timescape.'' He plays ``The Chairman'' and will be seen sans makeup. ... Look for Quark (Armin Shimerman) to tie the knot in an early ``DS9'' episode this season titled ``The House of Quark.'' (The bride is a Klingon!) ... Walter Koenig doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but many Trekkers think he should. His fan club has the necessary funding but needs more written support. If you want to help out, send letters (to the attention of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce) in care of Walter Koenig International Fan Club, P.O. Box 10731, Burbank, Calif. 91510.
