Portrait of Abraham Lincoln
Portrait of Abraham Lincoln dominates the classroom wall, its stern visage piercing the frenzy of rally cheers and staff showdowns. Bartlet erupts beneath it, shredding pandering with 'raise the lowest common denominator'; Doug, Sam, Toby, Connie, C.J. bristle in its shadow as apologies mend rifts and unity surges. Pristine, oversized, frame unspoken—frozen patriarch over mortal political thunder.
