...boat girl, Ee Kan, and boat boy, Ai Kum, seem to know what they're doing, poling furiously as the gnarled fingers of overhanging branches grasp and claw at us. Ee Kan wails as we scud past an exposed rock, and I prepare to abandon ship. As we slide over the last of the rapids into blessed calm water, I am relieved to remember that a serenade from these silk-swathed gondoliers was part of the deal. Both are Dai tribespeople, but they're singing their hearts out in Mandarin. "This is a famous Chinese song about...
...that don't involve having their in-laws' babies. She's not alone. On Sept. 10, MTV VJ and former BET host Ananda Lewis wants to bring back Phil Donahue-style social issues on her own syndicated talk show. (Both shows will air in most U.S. markets.) But Iyanla (ee-yon-la) and Ananda (an-on-da; wait till David Letterman gets them in the same room) face the common belief that only one mononym can get away with nonsensationalistic talk...

The tour guide, a fortyish woman named Yeda (which she pronounced "Ee-ill-da") stands at the front of the bus telling us about the city as it rushes by us. She repeats her tour guide observations in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Her English is pretty good (and I'm sure her Portuguese is first-rate too) but I seem to understand her Spanish spiel...
...Some of his stunts were wacky or zany (two words best applied to the '50s) and would be punctuated by the two forms of the Steve Allen laugh. One was low and desert-dry ("Eh eh"), the other high and hysterically musical ("Ee! Ee! Ee!"), as if a coloratura were being goosed. But Allen was no more wacky and zany than Steve Martin (who parodied Allen's song "Impossible" by singing "It's impossible/To stick an airplane up your nose/Yes, it's impossible") was wild and crazy. Few comics did Steve Allen impressions; his demeanor was too straight, too assured...
