	Season 3 / Episode 18: - Enemies Foreign and Domestic President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet: If only technology could invent some way to get in touch with you in an emergency.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Idaho town is referred to as both "Elkhorn" and "Elk's Horn".
FACT: When the HUD Secretary is talking to Toby he says "If this announcement makes A17 of the Metro section I'd be surprised." The Washington Post's Metro section is actually section B and almost never has more than 10 pages.
FACT: President Bartlet asks a teacher if she taught "Beowulf" in the original Middle English or in translation. Bartlet, an established know-it-all, would have been aware that "Beowulf" was written in Old English in the 8th century, some 200-300 years before the language had evolved into the form now known as "Middle English".
CHAR: Toby says that Bartlet must carry "the Northeast, Pacific Coast, and Industrial Northwest" to win re-election. There is no such area as the "Industrial Northwest" - perhaps he meant "Industrial Midwest".
CHAR: SPOILER: Near the end of the episode, when Donna comes into the Oval Office for the conversation with Mrs. Morello, President Bartlet says that General Pulaski commanded "our calvary during the American Revolution." He should have said "cavalry".
