We can hear all the little details like those "double clicks" that an unsuspecting Lewinsky notes at one point, which the duplicitous Tripp is able to pass off as "my gum." And, of course, we get to hear Monica's voice for the first time. Guessing what the ex-White House intern sounds like has, it seems, become America's favorite parlor game.

But Glover clearly meant The Last Muster of the Aborigines at Risdon, 1836, to be a muted elegy: those black figures, dwarfed by the huge and almost artificially sinuous gum trees, were in fact about to be removed to an offshore island...
