There is a difference in styles--Tsongas knows what is going on. In the car, he is pointing out the sites to Andrus. On the walking tour, it is Tsongas who knows who lives where, who is remodeling what building and how much is being spent on the canal. He gives the entourage directions to the fundraiser.
