Jeff's Girlfriend's Teen Magazine '21'

Jeff Johnson names the teen magazine '21' during a casual chat with new hire Donna, revealing his girlfriend works there as a stringer. He asks her to arrange a ten-minute phoner, treating White House access as a simple favor amid talk of badges, mail safety, iodine tablets, and a rumored XW-9 warhead under the Eisenhower putting green. No physical copy appears; the magazine drives Jeff's petty request.
