• There's a really classic cliche every time you switch the TV on - you see cops arguing. I have spent a day a week for many years in the presence of police and I have never seen them argue. It's a military hierarchy. They do what they're told. There's no bickering.

• Stalin experimentaba con la telepatía en los años 30. Winston Churchill tenía una oficina paranormal, intentando que la gente viajara fuera de sus cuerpos y viera detrás de las líneas enemigas en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y el Pentágono... Los Expedientes X se basan en un departamento real del Pentágono, que sigue ahí ahora. Casi todos los gobiernos, probablemente tan atrás en el tiempo como podemos ir, tiene uno. Y la policía a menudo - y cuando digo a menudo, quiero decir a menudo - acuden a los médiums si todo lo demás falla en la investigación.
