ANSWERS
1. The episode was ``A Matter of Honor.''
2. Kate Mulgrew was the issue's covergal. She appeared in her Janeway uniform, but had her hair down, which was initially going to be the character's look.
3. He is William Shatner. Stanley Kramer's powerful re-creation of the Nazi war crimes trial earned 11 Oscar nominations. (Thanks to Renee Mitchelson of Miami for this question.)
4. Piller scripted the teleplays for ``Caretaker'' (with Jeri Taylor), ``Time and Again'' (with David Kemper), ``The Cloud'' and ``Ex Post Facto'' (with Evan Carlos Somers).
5. Cory was played by the late character-actor Keye Luke, whose prolific career encompassed everything from the ``Charlie Chan'' films of the 1930s to the two ``Gremlins'' films (1984, 1990). (Thanks to Bill Conroy of Augusta, Ga.)
6. It was an episode of ``T.J. Hooker.'' Yasutake played a prostitute and her very first scene was with series star William Shatner.
7. Nana Visitor was the profile subject.
8. The pet shop was called Leonard Nimoy's Pet Pad. (Thanks to Steve Mackin of Charlotte, N.C.)
9. The film was ``The Balcony,'' a comedy based on the Jean Genet play. Corey, by the way, was Nimoy's acting teacher, and he later guest-starred in the ``Trek''- classic episode ``The Cloud Minders.''
10. Both episodes were directed by Cliff Bole.
11. The amulet is referred to as a jinaq. (Thanks to Debbie Mazak of Longview, Texas.)
