Patrick, Carter maintains, is not a "replacement" for Duchovny, who will be in 11 of 20 episodes this season--though nobody knows whether the star will re-sign next year. The producer says Doggett will darken the tone of the show, which often played to Duchovny's wry side. "It takes us back to our roots, telling good, scary stories," he says...
...blue-blooded Yale alum and contemporary of W.'s father's. "I knew your father," he told the son, "and your father lost to a better man."

And there have been no scandals, financial or sexual, to darken Graham's mission. His sincerity, transparent and convincing, cannot be denied. He is an icon essential to a country in which, for two centuries now, religion has been not the opiate but the poetry of the people. In the U.S., 96% of us believe in God, 90% pray...
