...while there's no Cigarette Smoking Man, and the Lone Gunman dweebs weren't invited to the reunion, Mulder and Scully must be heartened by the brief return of [spoiler alert!] their old boss Skinner (Mitch Pileggi). Just as important is the film's location in the Great White North. The first five seasons of The X Files were shot in British Columbia, which was a good fit for a show that wanted to leave its fans with a chill. In its pensiveness and good manners, its immersion in desolate wastes, its search for eccentricity, even dementia, behind the blandest...
...clotheshorse, it would be John Kruk, the Shmoo-shaped first baseman who tore his pants lunging for a ball early in the final game and, either defiantly or absentmindedly, left his underwear on display for the next seven innings. And if ugly had a poster boy, it would be Mitch (''Wild Thing'') Williams, the reliever who has destroyed nearly as many games as he has saved but is the beneficiary of something like divine luck. Infernal, for the Braves. They won 104 games this season, a franchise record. They have solid management, savvy hitters and an awesomely polished quartet...

"Obesity is not the kind of problem that is going to respond to just the flow of federal funds," says Galson. The fact is, however, that in the case of Verb, responding was precisely what it was doing - even if only a little...
...congressional seats in special elections in Mississippi, Louisiana and Illinois. The party is also mounting House challenges in 14 states that Bush won in 2004, including Wyoming, Alabama and Arizona. And Democratic candidates are contesting at least five G.O.P.-stronghold seats in the Senate: Alaska, Kentucky (Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell's seat), Nebraska, Kansas and New Mexico. "Senator Barack Obama's plan to compete in all 50 states is a reflection of the overwhelming desire for change that is transcending state boundaries and has energized voters in every corner of the country," said Maryland Representative Chris Van Hollen...
