Kennedy School of Government
Description
Donna brandishes Kennedy School of Government statistics like a dagger in Josh's office melee, slashing through firing threats with brutal math: twenty years back, 75% of its graduates charged into public service; last year, that plunges to a third amid rent crushes and intern penury. This policy crucible forges public sector warriors, its data arsenal now shields cash-strapped aides from ax-wielding bosses, anchoring pleas for loyalty in White House fiscal trenches where idealism collides with survival grind (78 words).
