Synopsis: Two friends from Law School have different characters and backgrounds. One is lower-middle class, ambitious and unscrupulous; the other is upper-middle-class and an idealist. They pursue different careers: the unscrupulous one goes into politics, joining a senator's staff, and the idealistic one becomes a public attorney.
Appraisal: This is a drama about friendship that also has interesting insights into the American political system, in particular the issue of private financing of political campaigns, a terrible plague which affects also my country, Brazil. While possibly this story is not one that will affect one in a deep way, it is well worth one's attention: it is well written and well directed and, while some situations are clearly exaggerated for dramatic purposes, there are many points of contact with real life that I could recognize.
