Do we need The X Files?
Article Abstract:
The television programme 'The X Files,' which is now in its third series, has proved extremely popular. It deals with strange phenomena, bringing obscure obsessions into mainstream culture. It has won a BAFTA award for viewers' most popular show, and three books relating to the series have become best-sellers. Its success seems to be due to the fact that it deals with the immaterial, having a strong overtone of permanent insecurity which fits in very well with current social trends.

The biggest mother of them all
Article Abstract:
Pop singer Madonna has always defined herself solely through blunt sexuality, despite having transformed herself many times and presented a wide range of images. She had recently been losing her original fan base, and had been involved in a number of unsuccessful projects. She began to become more middle-class and less controversial, and this was reinforced when she became pregnant. She is now looking to create a new image as a diva.
