Description
This record is an unabashed reconstruction of a piece of American life that disappeared between [the World Wars], says Israel Kaplan in his "autobiography." He remembers-pulling no punches-the colorful games, sayings ("Iodine if you can see it; aspirin if you can't."), riddles, rhymes, superstitions, epithets, taunts and insults of the Brooklyn streets.
