Miller was, and is, equally capable of astonished joy ("Sleeping through Heaven"), comic enthusiasm ("The Girls Are Ready to Go," unaccountably abbreviated on the new CD's label as "TGARTG"), Elvis Costello-ish self-mockery ("Bad Year at UCLA"), and honestly painful self-reproach ("The Red Baron").

His too-good-to-be-true face looks out from a gallery of photos lining the wall of his parents' apartment on New York City's East 74th Street, next to the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Archdiocesan Cathedral, where his father serves as dean...
