An exhibit at the Newseum—the portmanteau, the folly—recently riled Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, who was not impressed by the showcasing of his former Montana cabin, the scene of his final capture by the FBI. Kaczynski, currently imprisoned in federal Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado, spotted an ad for the exhibit, “G-Men and Journalists” in the Washington Post and wrote an angry letter:

Since the advertisement states that the cabin is ‘FROM FBI VAULT,’ it is clear that the government is responsible for the public exhibition of the cabin. This has obvious relevance to the victims’ objection to publicity connected with the Unabom case.

I hope Kacyznski doesn’t find out about museum’s site’s interactive cabin.

The University of the District of Columbia is getting a new president, after a lengthy search process that included unprecedented input from Mayor Adrian Fenty. The Post’s take on the new prez, Allen Sessoms, makes him sound like a stand up guy who doubled the endowment at his last school, Delaware State. That information comes from his resume, though, so beware the unreliable narrator.

The article fails to mention that in 2000 Sessoms resigned the top post at the City University of New York’s Queens College under pressure from the school’s board of trustees, who claimed he misled them about how much money he had raised for an AIDS research center.

As much as I’d like to believe that new leadership will bring positive financial and academic change to UDC, I’d feel better if the incoming president didn’t have a contentious past. Fenty’s tacit endorsement would mean more if the summer jobs program wasn’t all screwed up. If this doesn’t work out, don’t say Vox Populi didn’t warn you.
