Location
Catholic Fundraiser
Crowd hushes as President Bartlet and Governor Ritchie stride in tandem through grand doors, shoulders brushing in forced fraternity that splinters donor chatter. They duck into shadowed anteroom, voices low and edged for raw private reckoning amid clinking stemware. Reclaiming velvet seats, eyes lock on rising stage curtain—the play grips attendees while five congressmen shift uncomfortably, votes dangling from this engineered détente, air electric with concealed partisan blades beneath philanthropic gloss.
