Partly because he cunningly let others take the credit (and the blame) for his mephitic machinations, partly because he carefully left few letters or other memorabilia, a full-length biography has never before been written. Author Sarnoff, 46, a Wall Street broker by profession, pays little mind to literary style or organization, but has done his historical homework thoroughly...
Another method, especially for a huge, not particularly good musical, is lavish promotion. For Baker Street, Producer Alexander Cohen primed the pump with $50,000. He stationed red-coated, busy-topped actors on the sidewalk in front of the box office, filled the lobby with Sherlock Holmes memorabilia, and transformed the theater facade into a brick house with cutouts of second-story men and assassins climbing ropes and ladders.

Married to a California beauty, he has been chosen to teach mural painting at the Royal College, where, he says, avant-garde students "already think of me as trad...
