... Need maybe two short paragraphs under 120 words total. We have two paragraphs. Good. Need ensure no copying source phrasing. We used "White House Correspondents’ Association dinner", "Modern Family", "Hot Pursuit", names, dates. That's factual. Phrases like "high school sweetheart" from source?
