After all this time, I'm surprised you haven't heard.  Not only did Gene
Roddenberry massively re-write Harlan Ellison's script, Harlan published
the original version of the script along with a detailed story of how it
was re-written by Gene.  I have Harlan's book sitting on my bookshelf
right now.

Negative; the revisions to Harlan's script were apparently done by DC Fontana
and Gene L. Coon, not Roddenberry (see Harlan's book on this for more info).
