Character

John Fallow

polite enthusiastic authoritative didactic socially conscious

Dr. John Fallow commands the vanguard of the Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality, bursting into the Press Room with colleagues Dr. Cynthia Sayles and Professor Donald Huke to eviscerate Mercator Projection's imperialist deceptions. Projector flares expose Greenland's puny truth against Africa's vast fourteenfold expanse, jolting Josh Lyman and C.J. Cregg into cartographic vertigo. Fallow's leadership fuses polite fervor with unyielding expertise, wielding maps as scalpels to carve away perceptual biases and ignite demands for equitable global representation amid White House perceptual crises.
