If it is made up it was Roddenberry because I got it from the book "The Making of Star Trek" written by Roddenberry and Stephen Witfield. A great book if you are interested in the creation TOS and 1960s TV production.

Actually they could show the top of the breast and the side of the breast, but no underboob. The quote from a producer was "Maybe they're afraid moss grows under there?"

BTW, if you're a trek fan, absolutely check out Whitfield's "The Making of the TV Series: Star Trek." He's got a lot of behind the scenes commentary, and production notes that are a riot.

Oh, yeah! The Amelia Airhart (Fuck checking proper spelling) one! That's the one I remember since later on in the episode Janeway talked about how beautiful the city was without ever showing the damn thing.

To the subject of the TOS Enterprise, I don't know if it ever retained the ability and it was never stated, but it was definitely planned to during pre-production, and at least the JJ Abrahams version definitely seems to be able to. The source I got this from is the book The Making of Star Trek (The book on how to write for TV!) I can look up the exact source when I get home from work if you want.
