Center for Policy Alternatives Report
A letter‑size, stapled packet labeled as coming from the Center for Policy Alternatives — several printed pages, tightly typed and meant for rapid reading. It sits on the Oval Office surface as a tangible prompt: pages whisper when flipped, a cover or sticky note marks its relevance, and staff handle it with careful, slightly defensive gestures. Charlie raises the report in a tense, private exchange with the President; Bartlet receives it with guarded attention, the document acting as the immediate source of unease and whispered questions about Zoey.
