Top Story: The X-Files Phenomenon
The X-Files is a show that exposes extraterrestrial visits, vampire murders, demonic possessions and so forth.
The American government knows about it but refuses to investigate it officially instead keeping the accounts in
secret FBI files, the X-Files. Special Agent Fox Mulder gets assigned to looking into thes extroidanary cases.
His belief in the paranormal has earned him the name Spooky. Certain people in the government are afraid
to delve in the X-Files, and try to thwart Mulder's attempts. To try and assess his work they sent Agent Dana
Scully.
This year the x-files had it cake and ate it too. The drama continues to spook us with freaks and extraterrestrials.
The stars did their finest work yet. Gillian won an Emmy for her portrayal fo teh cancer stricken Scully. Duchovny
gave a fine performance in "Small Potatoes." By continually expanding its canvas the x-files remains mysterious,
mercurial and mesmerizing.
Gillian Anderson plays X-Files brainy assistant to fox Mulder. At first she thought the whole idea of glamour was
paranormal. "When she auditioned four years ago she looked like a sisheveled urchin." says creator Chris
Carter. Anderson, 29, lives in West Vancouver, British Comumbia. She dates rodney Rowland and has a three
year old daughter, Piper Maru. She still favors black baggy jeans and has no mirrors in her home. Anderson has
done a wonderful job of portraying Scully and continues to do so today.
David Duchovny plays the alien hunting, vampire killing, demon catching, Fox Mulder. David lives in New York and
is maried to Tea Leoni. Duchovny has many interests including basketball and yoga. He went to Yale and has a degree in English Literature. Duchovny is a brillian Mulder and portrays Fox Mulder's belief in aliens despite Duchovny's own disbelief.

her disease and continue her work.
Part II: Gethesmane-Coming in June
Racheal's Poem Place
Who Fled the Terror Scene
She was such a sweet thing
Who fled the terror scene
Her reflection was in the puddles
her flight was like her dreams
She had eyes like tiny planets
Their background a million smiles
She fled the terror scene
And lived on candy bars
Her bones were brittle ivory
She broke them trying to fly
She fled the terror scene
And yet she didn't die
She was such a quiet thing
Who could interpret what wasn't said
Yet she fled the terror scene
Her house was gingerbread
She was such a mystic thing
With snow falling in her hair
As the silver bullets wizzed by her
She hid her teddy bear
She fled the terror scene
And swept up the bloddy tears
She was forgotten her friend from India's name
But still remembers those years
