Good profile of the Stark Trek phenomenon. Outtakes of interviews available as well. Shatner: The narrow margin between reality and imagination, unreality, how close those two things are in my life, maybe I thought I was captain kirk.

Daughter: There is definitely um, a huge piece of my dad that I don’t know if anybody knows. Jason Alexander: There’s a rumour mill about Shatner a mile and a half long, and it goes from the sublime to the ridiculous, and from the glorious, to the villainous. Geoff Rovere: It was calculated at a certain point that William Shatner was probably known by one quarter of the people of the planet because his role as James D Kirk in Star Trek. ON SCREEN TEXT: William Shatner : AT HOME IN THE UNIVERSE 00:00 – Shatner walking on ground of his farm Narrator: William Shatner, it might be true that more a billion people know the face, but not many can claim to know the Man, Shatner has a secret sanctuary north of Hollywood in the high sea area? It’s a place where few people, and know cameras, have boldly gone before. 00:01:45 on farm stops to talk to camera and views of the beautiful grounds Shatner: Welcome, to my home [laughs] I found this place about 20 years ago, I came along a Country Road, I walked into that field of waist high grass, I looked around and that was all, I said er “this is the place”, and I went to buy it immediately. 2:00 – walking and pointing to the grounds and Native American sculptures he has added to the property. C’mon I want to show you something I’ve done here. As I cleared some of the Brush near the river, I found holes in the granite where the Indians have mashed the acorns, and then I began to hear about and understand, and that Indians had live to up to 50, no a 100 years ago. I have put into solidity my imagining of what the Indians were like, when they lived on this property. 3:00 – at the beautiful stream and talks about his communing with his land and why he never will sell the place in his lifetime Here’s the twilight time, not the twilight zone. There was a time in my life when I didn’t have any money, I had done well, then I was err divorced and I didn’t have any money. And I needed to sell this place, and I sat right there, one summer’s evening, half crying because I knew I had to sell this place, and on one of those rocks, a lizard came, and the lizard stood on the rock, and as the water hit the rock, it splashed up, and the lizard was grabbing globules of water and that’s how the lizard drank it’s water, and I sat looking at it with nobody around, I was naked, in the water, alone, naked, watching a lizard drink and I thought, I cannot, I will not, I must never, in my life time, sell this place. I love the philosophy of me and the earth being one, I love to lie on the grass and listen to the earth grow, and I love this farm as I I keep trying do it better, planting more trees, find ways of growing things without hurting anything else. 00:04:30 – views of people walking along the streets of Montreal Narrator: While Shatner earned his fame and a modest fortune in the United States, he remains a Canadian Citizen, he was born in montreal in 1931, and returns to his home town for the first time in many years. Shatner: I was one of the very few Jewish families living in this neighborhood ,and the kids used to jump me, because I was Jewish, and I got into fights everyday with two or three kids jumping me at the same time, and I used to win, most of them, and they-all the kids would stand around yelling “fight fight fight” and I’d have to struggle. 00:05:00 – goes to visit the house he was born in and gets tour indoors This first house right here is where I was born and brought up and would play.

I first read science fiction right in there, which is now a restaurant, was a book store. Narrator: The book store is gone, so to the movie theatre, but not the child in William Shatner.

I was a natural, and I was like one of the only boys as well, so I was playing all the hero roles, I was Prince Charming in Snow White, and I had to kiss the 6 year old girl, even then, my blood was stirring. I remember the first day I was there, and Violette Walters, who was very grandamn? was talking like that.

54444 1950s PROFILE OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE "THE DELAWARE STORY"
The Diamond State Telephone Company presents “The Delaware Story” — “the story of a free people in a free land.” The 1950s color film provides the viewer with historical, economic, and cultural information on the “Diamond State” (a nickname bestowed by Thomas Jefferson, we’re told at mark 00:40). Through color illustrations the film discusses the Native Americans who once called the area home (mark 01:07), the destruction of a 1631 Dutch Colony, and the development of other colonies in the region by Dutch and Swedish settlers. We see Old Swedes Church (Holy Trinity Church), consecrated in 1699 in Wilmington, at mark 02:45, and we look at drawings of some early log cabins before learning about the role Caesar Rodney played President of Delaware during most of the American Revolution (mark 03:55), as well as the colony’s role during the war and eventual statehood. There is talk of Delaware’s spiritual heritage with unfolding scenes from nature and various places of worship. Kids and adults are shown fishing, playing at the beach, or enjoying time at amusement parks at mark 08:00 as the refers to the state as “the nation’s summer capital.” The film touts Delaware’s art culture by showing us the Wilmington Art Center (mark 08:37) and later re-enactments from Colonial life before looking at some of its rich architectural designs starting near mark 09:45. In praising the state’s dedication to education, students stroll the grounds at the University of Delaware (mark 11:18) and Delaware State College, and we later learn of the state’s rich history of material trade (mark 12:05). At mark 14:25 the film tells us the history of the first telephone service in Delaware, dating to 1878, before reviewing various industries that call “The First State” home, as well as small, local businesses (mark 17:50) as we see scenes from bakeries, jewelry stores, and other shops, as well as farms that produce countless crops and costal waters that provide seafood (mark 19:35). Cars speed across the Delaware Memorial Bridge (mark 21:28) as the picture changes its focus to transportation and its population boom.
