Interrogation follows intuition; you quickly discover that they, like yourself, are interns. This process repeats itself again and again until you finally realize, with some chagrin, that you are just one of many thousands irresistibly drawn to this place of politics and power. Interns are the lifeblood of the city. Most Senate and Congressional offices have between five and 30: the interns often outnumber...
