"'''Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail'''" is the 38th episode of ''[[The West Wing (TV series)|The West Wing]]''. |

==Plot== |
|||
The staff again participates in "[[Big Block of Cheese Day]]." A friend of [[Donna Moss|Donna]]'s asks [[Sam Seaborn|Sam]] to consider a pardon request for an alleged [[Cold War]] spy. Sam, meanwhile, comes to grip with the revelation of his father's infidelity. |
|||
[[Toby Ziegler]] meets with the group "World Policies Studies," which objects to the [[World Trade Organization]], and [[C.J. Cregg]] meets with "The Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality," which would like legislation to support a specific [[map projection]], namely the "[[Gall-Peters projection|Peters projection]]" which corrects the exaggerated representation of [[North America]] and [[Western Europe]] found in the standard [[Mercator projection]]. |
|||
===Opposing the WTO=== |
|||
While "World Policies Studies" does not exist, there are many individuals and organizations which object to the World Trade Organization (WTO), such as [[Pat Buchanan]],<ref>[http://immigration.about.com/library/blcandidates.htm Election 2000: All Original Candidates on Immigration<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> [[Harry Browne]],<ref>[http://www.issues2000.org/Celeb/Harry_Browne_Free_Trade.htm Harry Browne on Free Trade<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and the [[anti-globalization|anti-globalization movement]]. |
|||
Daniel Galt, the Soviet spy mentioned in the episode, is a fictional parallel to [[Alger Hiss]], a US State Department employee who was convicted of perjury in the late '40s. Hiss was a [[cause celebre]] among the left for years, but in the '90s, the release of the [[Venona Project]] archives by the [[National Security Agency|NSA]] indicated that Hiss was almost certainly guilty. Sam's strong feelings towards Galt and his shock at the revelation of his guilt indicate and represent the political left's reaction to the revelations about Hiss. |
