Go against the grain.
Cut down on salt.

Adding salt to your food
could subtract years from
your life. Because in some
people salt contributes to
high blood pressure, a con-
dition that increases your
risk of heart disease.

hospital dramas, the same police
dramas, the same sitcoms," he
says. "Some people want to be
challenged by what they see, and
this show answers that."
In the last season, several mil-
lion viewers stayed home on
Friday nights to watch the ad-
ventures of Mulder and Scully.
A recent time-slot move to Sun-
day nights sparked criticism
from some of the hardline fans
for whom the show was Friday
nights. Observant Jewish fans,
however, were pleased: there is
no longer a need to tape the show
and watch it later.
And, despite what some might
expect, the people who have be-
come admittedly fanatical about
the show wouldn't be on the
short list, much less the long list,
of Geeks 'R Us.
Take Whitney Lakin. A fresh-
man at George Washington Uni-
versity (J. Edgar Hoover's alma
mater, she points out) who is
studying forensic pathology
(Agent Scully's specialty), she
has become a fascinating repos-
itory of `X-Files" facts, refining
the ability to cull offbeat quotes
from obscure episodes.
A bubbly, intelligent, articu-
late and pretty graduate of De-
troit Country Day School, Lakin
has watched other television
shows but never with the pas-
sion with which she views "The
X-Files."
"I tried `Baywatch' for one
year," she says, "but I couldn't
look like Pamela Anderson, so
why bother?"
And "X-File" fans are de-
manding. They want more from
the show that has already given
them more food for thought than
most other paltry offerings on
the small screen. Although they
have seen Agent Scully explore
her beliefs as a lapsed Catholic,
there is no religious identity as-
signed to Agent Mulder, a skep-
tic whose father in one episode
was buried in a Protestant cere-
mony.
"He is apparently alienated,"
Lakin said. "He looks to the skies
for UFOs instead. His spiritual-
ity is in the supernatural."
Like Lakin, Itkin would like
to see the show explore more
,D spiritual elements than obscure
Native American beliefs and the
notion of transmigration of the
soul. Both would like to see some
episodes dedicated to Judaic
mysteries.
"If they could just get into
Jewish mysticism, that would be
interesting," Itkin said.
