Reichler's background is not exactly revolutionary. The son of a baseball writer for the Associated Press and an ardent fan himself, Reichler grew up on Long Island. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1973, he joined the Washington law firm of Arnold & Porter, where he played a mean shortstop on the firm's baseball team and put his encyclopedic knowledge of the sport to use in representing then Commissioner Bowie Kuhn.

Yet to acerbic critics and ardent fans alike -- and Sondheim, at 57, is surely the most controversial major figure in the American theater -- his own dispassionate characterization evokes the distinctive flavor of the work that has brought him five Tonys, a record six New York Drama Critics Circle awards for best musical and a 1985 Pulitzer...
