With Republicans facing that undertow, Democrats are growing increasingly confident about their chances not only against incumbents long in their sights (such as Knight, Rohrabacher, Yoder and Paulsen) but in districts that were originally on the periphery of their target list, such as seats around Raleigh and Charlotte, the Irvine California-centered seat held by Republican Rep.

Backed by Michelle Ndegeocello on bass, the Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen on drums, Dominic James on guitars and the Gangbe Brass Band, Kidjo reconnects the salsa original to West Africa, layering the song with a tumbling six-beat rhythm, a brass-band undertow and a tangle of scurrying guitar lines while she belts with enough grit to rival Cruz herself.

Elsewhere, other "vile bodies," as the British novelist Evelyn Waugh put it several decades earlier, describing another decadent set — young members of London society after World War I — sink into the bosoms of beehive-coiffed femmes fatales, grab the band's microphone, smooch in smoky corners, or fade into each other's arms as they give in to the undertow of oceans of booze in the night.

Much of the undertow on wages and job security is a result not just of global competition or automation but also of private-equity ownership of some $4.3 trillion worth of operating companies, in sectors that include retailing, hospitals, nursing homes, newspapers, rental housing, private prisons, for-profit child care, payday lenders and private universities, employing well over 10 million workers and affecting millions of others.

Its undertow was the whole history of cruelty — the pillory, the scaffold, the red-hot poker and the burnings at the stake, all the vileness invented by humanity to curb and control the practitioners of the unspeakable sin — it was all tumbling on and Oscar was there in every word, razor sharp, slashing the world down to size, glittering in the lights and crashing against the walls of the theater.

It was like watching a wave approach from a great distance, so great that at first it is not a wave at all, but a mere horizon, static and singular, so that one, it being possible, presumably, to avail oneself of the diversions of the beach, might turn one's back on the ocean altogether, might turn instead to the sand, heaped and tunnelled, the sunscreened hand that fumbles for a book, indeed, the book, the sentence, the syntax, the sun blanching the page, stained, perhaps, with sweat, the creamy pleasure of not-laboring, when one would otherwise labor, the pleasure of wasting oneself, of decadent uselessness, though one might, of course, always alarm to some emergency, a child caught in the undertow, say, who must be dragged to shore and breathed into like an empty balloon, an empty balloon on which everything depends, might, bent over the small body, waiting for it to rise, to float, casting a shadow the size of oneself, not even see, though one was, of course, warned it would come, and soon, the shadow of that wave, like a new sky, already overhead and even now descending.
