Paper Tigers

Two ambitious new interns at the Washington Post-a cowboy conservative and a patrician feminist beauty-match wits and sparks while vying for a reporter slot. But can chemistry trump ideology in the mad age of Donald Trump?



They came to the Washington Post from opposite sides-Nick Jarrett, the conservative son of a Wyoming rancher, and Laura London, an Ivy League feminist firebrand. They are young, bright, and attractive. Sure, they're just copy aides, glorified gophers, relegated to delivering parcels and answering phones on different news desks. But someday, they'll be Post reporters who will save America-either from the Left or the Right…if only they can solve their "silly" romantic issues first. Chief among them are their radically opposed politics -sexual or otherwise.
