Bartlet races limousines demanding radio checks on her safety, her threats magnifying national wounds. Amid Jerusalem's suicide bombing claiming young American brothers, her uncharacteristic silence grips parental fear on Erev Yom Kippur, Bartlet enforcing daily calls that pierce the presidency's armor with raw family fragility.
