I
n a nearly packed room
Sunday evening at the
Maple-Drake Jewish
Community Center, the
chant was heard, "Hello me;
I am a Jew; I am fun to be
with, but most of all I am a
human being. And human
beings aren't perfect. And I
will love myself in my
imperfection because I'm
good enough; I'm smart
enough and dogonne it, peo-
ple like me."
The crowd followed the
words of "Saturday Night
Live" character Stuart
Smalley, created and played
by "SNL" writer and actor
Al Franken. Mr. Franken
closed the 41st annual
Detroit Jewish Book Fair
with his work I'm Good
Enough, I'm Smart Enough,
and Dogonne it, People Like
Me.
Mr. Franken showed up in
character for the first 45
minutes, then returned to
answer questions about Mr.
Smalley, Saturday Night
Live, and the Al Franken
decade as himself.
Mr. Franken's book con-
sists of the daily affirma-
tions of Mr. Smalley, a
member of five different 12-
step programs — Overeater

"I heard all my life,
Stuart, you're not good
enough; Stuart, you're not
smart enough and by tii.E
way, Stuart, nobody like
you. This message camE
from my mother and mYil
father, but it also came from,
the small Stuart within me,'
Mr. Smalley said. "But then
there was this other voic:,,
saying, 'that's ok' — an ail
firmation, a positive state
ment taking over than,
negative voice."
Mr. Franken created thE
character of Stuart Smalley
through his own experience_
in a 12-step program foie
friends and family vi
alcoholics. He admitted
many individuals involved,
in support networks may
seem odd, but that gro7
therapy is important.
"You can learn a lot from
people who you wouldr.C::,1
think could teach yo0
anything. Stuart Smalleyr--1-E
that person," Mr. Franke,
said. ❑

Bonn (JTA) — The German
and Israeli defense forces are
studying a plan for coopera-
tion between units of both
armies.
The idea was hatched dur-
ing the official visit to Israel
last week by the German
army chief of staff, Gen.
Klaus Naumann, according
to a spokesman for the
Bundeswehr, the German
army.
The project would be part
of an effort to promote coop-
eration and understanding
between the Bundeswehr
and the Israel Defense Force
at all levels, the spokesman
said.
Gen. Naumann, upon his
return from Israel, said that
both countries are seeking
ways to bring together their
soldiers in exchange prod:
grams designed to advance
mutual understanding.
Such a project would do
much to turn around feet=,
ings of apprehension and
even hatred that have ex-
isted among Israelis, par-
ticularly Holocaust sur-
vivors and their families,
and Germans.
Gen. Naumann said he'
had met hundreds of your.g ,
Israelis and had the impres-,
sion they are fair-minded
toward Germany. But many
of those he met voiced con-
cerns over the current wave
of neo-Nazi attacks on for:
eigners.
Other areas of heightened
will focus on arms technol-
ogy.
