Larson seems a dogged but uninspired or talentless young reporter responding to a hard-boiled chief detective's "Gimme all you've got"; he has lots of facts and is obviously a tireless reporter, but it all just sits there.

He is also a tireless advocate of causes, a godfather to young talent, a lobbyist, a fund raiser and a supreme power broker in the music world, albeit a rather puckish, cherubic one. "I've never been able to live in a cocoon," he says. "I have a long buttinsky nose." In Yiddish-one of the six languages he either speaks or understands -the expression is a kochleffl (a stirrer...
