...between the two men suggested by the text is missing, as is a sense of development in their friendship, so that the older poet seems unaffected by Bysshe's drowning at the end.

Even those who had faced tough questioning in confirmation hearings -- Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala, Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt -- were confirmed with barely a murmur of opposition.

In Murmur's "Catapult" from 1983, he ponders childhood ("We were little boys/We were little girls... Did we miss anything?"). Now, ten years later, it's early adulthood he recalls ("Hey kids, rock and roll/nobody tells you where to go") as he laments the passage of time in the chorus ("Maybe...
