...female agent has been murdered, and her colleague Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) has enlisted Mulder and Scully to help her find the killer. One clue comes from visions of the murder claimed by Father Joe (Billy Connolly), a Catholic priest who had been convicted of sexually abusing dozens of altar boys decades before. In line with their old TV selves, Mulder is sympathetic to the man's assertions, Skully skeptical. "Do you believe him?" an agent (rapper Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner) dismissively asks Mulder, who replies, "Let's say I wanna believe...
...audience member will be surprised to learn that Father Joe's visions are accurate: they lead Mulder to more than one dead woman and another in jeopardy.

But until she was 19, Lena had never had a boyfriend. Rather disastrously, she married one of the first men she dated: Louis Jones, a minister's son. Led by her mother, little Gail became part of a new and vibrant phase of black bourgeois life, in which respectability became...
...negative attack ad that accuses the Illinois Senator of shirking his Senate oversight responsibilities on Afghanistan and voting against a funding bill for troops in Iraq. (Obama's vote was a protest against the war policy, not a rejection of the troops.) And McCain surrogate Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman appeared on Fox News Sunday to hammer Obama's past opposition to the current military effort in Iraq. "The fact is that if Barack Obama's policy on Iraq had been implemented, Barack Obama could not go to Iraq today," Lieberman said. "It would not be safe...
