...less sentient man. But Cream was organized around the drums while Led Zeppelin is organized around the counterpoint of lead guitarist and vocalist. Nor does Page have to contend with the supernaturally inane lyrics which Jack Bruce brought to Cream. Led Zeppelin's lyrics are never violently imagistic, and eschew "silver horses run down moonbeam in your dark eyes" ("White Room") for the related theme- provocative to puerile adolescents and Marshall scholars alike- of unrequited love. Their blues songs are populated by the inevitable uxorious men, boastful lovers, and sagacious unfortunates. The song titles themselves suggest perturbable stoicism...
...nasty as Wilder is, he is also undeniably entertaining. I don't know quite how to explain that, except to say that he is intelligent enough to eschew a sledge hammer approach.

...success or failure. It is part of the folklore of American government--perhaps of modern government generally--that serious and significant government intervention in social processse is invariably accompanied by the development of large bureaucracies and intricate regulatory mechanisms and the only way to avoid the latter is eschew the former. That is to say that active government must be Big Government, and only laissez-faire principles can achieve lean administration. Students of public administration have for some time rejected this view, arguing that government bureaucracies are just as likely to burgeon for lack of energetic social policies...
