...first five seasons or so artfully explored all crevasses of paranormal fiction - psy-fi - could have had Bush and Hoover as its patron saints, its Janus heads.

Among the other deaths in gun-keeping households were twelve accidents, 41 criminal homicides and 333 suicides. CHART: TEXT NOT AVAILABLE
