The May 29 obituary of actor Charles Nelson Reilly understandably could mention only a few of his life's many performances. One that was omitted but which I believe deserves mention was his performance as a popular writer named Jose Chung in a brilliantly written 1996 episode of the television show "The X Files" called "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space.' " Many fans of "The X Files" consider this to be one of the best episodes, if not the best.
Reilly's gentle and understated performance in this episode practically stole the show.

I feel that The Post's June 4 Business package of articles on the shopping habits of teenagers was flawed because of the lopsided demographics of the participants. The emphasis solely on fashion, to the exclusion of other commodities, such as electronics and music, and the ratio of females to males was troubling, but the most serious issue was the affluence and privilege of the participants.
Clearly, teens who have the most money spend the most money, but this experiment was unrepresentative of the shopping habits of teenagers as a demographic group. A necessary complement to this package would be to run the same exercise at a venue that attracts a different socioeconomic group from that at Tysons Corner.
