#6  Re #4 --- This episode? "The City on the Edge of Forever"

"She was right. Peace was the way."
"She was right. But at the wrong time."
– Kirk and Spock, 1930 ("The City on the Edge of Forever")
Sister Edith Keeler was a female Human social worker in New York City, United States, in the 20th century.

In 1930, she ran a soup kitchen out of the 21st Street Mission. Known for her compassion and forward thinking, she sought to bring peace to the entire planet. That same year, she died in a traffic accident. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")

#4  Perhaps the inspiration for the fictional name of Capt Kirk's Edith Keeler? (Probably one of the best episodes of the original series)
