		Brought back to the Algonquin by popular demand, not to mention the particular demand of Oak Room impresario Arthur Pomposello, who knows a good thing when he hears it, Lainie Kazan is here through April 10 to restore for us some sense of what power, vulnerability, sexuality, and artistry are all about.
		Lainie, like Judy, also knows one or two things about the songs of love, not unrequited.
		Mae West would have loved Lainie's self-identifying closing homage of "You know, I used to be Snow White, but I drifted"; and Sophie Tucker, of course, must be up there somewhere, beaming down on this heir apparent -- very apparent -- to THAT buoyant, devouring, prefeminist 1920s bearer of the torch, keeper of the flame.
