In the ICU on a medical-reality show, one of the doctors is having a
problem finding a neurosurgeon. The narrator speaks:
"Finally, Dr. Cardullo _captures_ a break."
_Catch_, like _get_ before it, has simply become too banal, I reckon.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
