The FBI are...

[edit]

What would Americans say instead of "The FBI are.."??

The FBI is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It's singular. The FBI agents are called, well, agents, or, in slang, "The Feds", "G Men"... GRuban 16:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The British sometimes refer to collective entities in plural form when Americans would use a singular form ("The government are . . ."/"The government is . . ." 162.27.9.20 17:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two Versions

[edit]

The two versions are so different as to nearly be separate works. The earlier, Ted Kennedy version was totally rewritten to make it part of the hot-selling Kane and Abel franchise. If these books were movies, the latter would be referred to as a "remake". 75.200.43.27 (talk) 03:41, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Should Jackie be mentioned?

[edit]

Just recently, Reelz had a documentary about Jacqueline Kennedy called "Jackie: Behind Closed Doors" which briefly mentioned that the original plot of this book was the reason that she quit her job as an editor for the company which I believe from information here was Jonathan Cape. This fact also notably appeared in Bill O'Reilly's book Killing Kennedy, so should this be noted upon on this page?--Riadse96 (talk) 06:23, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
