When he describes his plan for taking the pulse of the people, Perot seems to assume that viewers will have access to some sort of interactive television network. Such a system would allow couch spuds to register their opinions simply by pressing a button on a keyboard or remote control. Unfortunately, interactive television does not yet exist -- except in a handful of small pilot projects -- and it has not been determined who will provide the service when it does arrive...

The fortepiano passages contain moments of intense, near-pictorial portraiture, such as in the "Sailor's Song" and in "Fidelity," which speaks of "rushing winds" and the "tempests." There are also languid moments of introspection, most notably in the "Spirit's Song," "She Never Told her Love" (the setting...
