The surge came as a shock even to Bush aides, who made a last-minute decision to dispatch Bush to West Virginia on the day before the first debate.

Like all Glass's other pieces, it consists of the chug-chug repetition of slowly shifting harmonies, ad infinitum and ad nauseam. Alas, what sounded fresh (or at least different) 20 years ago is now as agonizingly familiar as a Hemingway parody. Same old same old same old same...
