Location
Hilton Head
Hilton Head functions here as a named external locus that organizes White House work: Sam’s ‘Hilton Head’ draft becomes a concrete task, a destination for argument and persuasion. The place acts like a rhetorical anchor and logistical node—spurring triage, handoffs, and the quiet allocation of responsibility. Its invocation compresses policy stakes and personal obligation into a single placename, orienting staff action and charging the draft with political and emotional consequence.
