If there were an award for most valuable player so far in this seasons Lyrics and Lyricists series at the 92nd Street Y, it would have to go to Jason Graae, the Al Jolson-like singing and dancing clown who dressed up some of the more playful lyrics of Mack Gordon in Peter Sellers-worthy foreign accents on Saturday evening. Embellishing the voices with appropriate accessories, like a beret and an oversize sombrero and a paste-on handlebar mustache, Mr. Graae executed the lyrics with the perfect comic flourishes. After youve heard him demolish the 1947 ballad Mamselle in the gurgle of an obsequious French waiter, it will never sound quite the same again..

Fight Over What Was Lost in Polish Translation
Just days before Pope John Paul II visits his Polish homeland, the best-selling biography His Holiness has become the center of a rare international battle over censorship that pits the investigative reporter Carl Bernstein and his New York publisher against a defiant Warsaw publishing house. The copyright duel ended up in the civil courts of Poland this week when Bantam Doubleday Dell, a subsidiary of Bertelsmann A.G., sued for damages and the seizure of more than 14,500 Polish copies of the biography of the Pope, which it contends had been heavily edited to remove references to the Pontiffs ill health, Polish anti-Semitism and criticism of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland..

AMBER WAS BRAVE, ESSIE WAS SMART The Story of Amber and Essie Told Here in Poems and Pictures. By Vera B. Williams. 72 pp. New York: Greenwillow Books/ HarperCollins Publishers. $15.95. (Ages 7 and up) MIDWAY through this story, told in poems and pictures, two sisters cuddle together in what they call Best Sandwich: with Amber on one side and Essie on the other with one fat pillow close by Essies cheek and one fat pillow by Ambers. It is late and their mother has not yet come home from work and the radiator has grown cold. Warming up / with Ambers breath / right by Essies ear, the two consider the new girl who has moved into the apartment above theirs. Do you really think she lives there all alone, Amber whispered Kids cant live all alone, Essie told her Yes they can if theyre brave and smart and they can cook, Amber whispered back. Amber Was Brave, Essie Was Smart is indeed the tale of kids who live all alone -- not in some Never-Never Land of unending childhood delight, or shipwrecked on some island; not abandoned by their parents or escaped from them; not neglected, not ostracized, but alone nonetheless, hidden in plain sight among the adults who care for them. They are latchkey kids, children of the working poor, a new-millennium version of Dickenss plucky Victorian orphans. Essie could thread a needle cook toasted cheese sandwiches make cocoa.. Amber was brave She could get the grocery man to trust them for a container of milk though their mother couldnt pay him till payday. Essie kept their house key in her little purse but the front door to their building wouldnt even open unless they both pushed on it hard. Essie and Amber, Amber and Essie. Essie is small and Amber is tall. Their mother works late, sometimes even on Saturdays. Their father is in jail, arrested for forging his bosss signature on a check after he lost his job. Like so many children of working or absent parents, the two sisters have a network of caretakers. Their mother cares for them all day on Sunday, and Helen downstairs watches them on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Mondays and Wednesdays after school they go to Mimi, their big cousin, who plays cards and dances with them when she isnt talking to her best friend Russell / on the phone. They call their Uncle B. when something needs to be fixed. And yet, as these poems make poignantly clear, like so many modern children Essie and Amber also spend a good many hours alone together in their empty apartment, whispering, quarreling, reading library books and writing poems, taking care of themselves and each other. They are good at it. Because Essie is smart and Amber is brave, they know just what to do when the bed theyve been jumping on collapses. Brave Amber is the first to go up the stairs to ring the doorbell of the turret apartment where the new girl lives. Smart Essie knows how to use the scissors to even out her sisters hair after Amber cuts off her braids, to send to Daddy / so hell be sure to remember me. And when their Mama was at her job / and their Daddy was far away / and the house felt dark, both girls know to hold each other in Best Sandwich: it turned the room friendly from strange and they could breathe each others breath in and out and in and out till they heard at last their mothers key in the big front door. The book begins with colored-pencil portraits, two of Essie and two of Amber. Interestingly, Vera B. Williams draws the backs of their heads and then their faces, a touch that gives a sweet familiarity to the portraits, as if were seeing the sisters as they see each other. Scattered throughout the poems are simple pencil sketches that will interest but not distract small readers, followed by a colorful album of scenes from the story. The poems themselves are vignettes with wonderfully direct titles (No I Wont / Yes I Will, Whoops, Amber Says What They Did When the Doorbell Rang). In each one, in language that is childishly simple and yet vivid with detail, Williams touches on something authentic about the girls and their lives, whether it is the sound of their voices in a quarrel or at play, their delight in a new friend, or the vicissitudes of their familys financial straits: Wouldnt it be great, Amber asked Essie, if you could squeeze a milk carton like an orange so you could get more milk even when its empty. She graces both girls with resilience and pluck without ever sentimentalizing them or their circumstances, and she captures the fear and the loneliness, the burden, of their premature self-reliance without ever losing sight of their still childish capacity for joy and playfulness. In her Caldecott Honor Book A Chair for My Mother, Williams beautifully showed how a childs need to offer comfort is at times as essential as her need to receive it -- how in the community of family, especially stressed, hard-working family, a childs ability to contribute to the common good can be as confirming, and reassuring, as any confirmation or reassurances adults may attempt to bestow. Amber Was Brave, Essie Was Smart carries much the same message about the generosity and strength of childrens spirits. It serves as a timely reminder for us all..
