Transitions

Keith Sanders sits with several tourists in a pub in a New England city and tells them about his role in a Washington, D.C. political scandal that took place fifteen years before. The scandal, which ended the career of a U.S. senator and ruined the life of Sanders' friend, Aubrey Revere, involved drugs and an intricate plot to manipulate the national news media. Sanders tells of his relationship with his wife, Brenda, and he talks about his children, his work on Capitol Hill, and his friendship with Aubrey Revere. Sanders also describes how politicians and the news media interact to further their own aims, and he inadvertently reveals how his actions, and his sorrow and anger, have made him who and what he is now.
