Since the Newseum is having fun with Hoover …

so will we …

Those zany exhibit artists at the Newseum have done it again — J. Edgar Hoover like you’ve never seen him.

On Sunday the Washington Post completes its 13-part series, “Who Killed Chandra Levy?”

What do Post reporters think about the massive undertaking?

Here’s a fascinating take from one of the Post’s own, quoted in the ombudsman’s Sunday column:

Several readers thought the murders of African Americans in the District had been slighted for one white woman who wasn’t even from Washington. And Robert E. Pierre, a Post Metro reporter, said that the emphasis on Levy “seems like either an awful big coincidence or just recognition that . . . a white life is worth more than a black one.”

Pierre said it was “unconscionable that we would devote 12 parts and a year to the investigation of this one death. About 200 people are killed in this city every year, most of them black and male. But the one that captures the ‘world,’ according to us, is the death of a 24-year-old white woman who had a relationship with a congressman.”

After 100 years, we can’t get you out of our minds…

Back in June, the New York Times’ Caucus blog ran this item:

As Senators Barack Obama and John McCain pushed their competing energy plans at campaign events today, advisers to Mr. McCain opened up a few new lines of attack on the presumptive Democratic nominee – one of them cinematic.

Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the McCain campaign, accused Mr. Obama of being the “Dr. No” of energy security in a conference call with reporters….

His reference to the 1962 spy film starring Sean Connery

… this may not be the last time we hear the name “Dr. No”…

Turns out, the Caucus had it right.

Monday in DC brings the beginning of Screen on the Green, the free movie series on the Mall.

And the kick-off movie?  “Dr. No.”

Confused by the Washington Post’s transition from Leonard Downie to Marcus Brauchli?

Fortunately, the big media give us some helpful tips on how to say the new executive editor’s name.

• New York Times:  “Mr. Brauchli (pronounced BROW-klee)”
• Washington Post:  “Brauchli (pronounced BROW-klee)”
• AP: “Brauchli (whose name is pronounced BROCK’-lee)”

Of course, we know where our bread is buttered (pronounced BUTT-ered), so we’ll follow Fishbowl’s direction:

It’s pronounced like “broccoli.”

Ah yes, like the James Bond producer!

Washington Wizard Gilbert Arenas, who agreed to a six-year, $111 million contract with the Wizards after the team offered him a six-year deal worth between $125 million and $127 million:

“I looked at like this: There is nothing I can do for my family with $127 million that I can’t do with $111 million.  I mean, college is expensive but it ain’t that dang expensive.”
