“you are mistaken about my alleged agents” [MAZA]
Along with the calabash pipe, deerstalker cap, and Inverness
cape, one of Sherlock Holmes's traits is the use of cocaine. But
should it be?
William H. Miller, M.D. F.A.C.P. won the Morley-Montgomery
Award for his article in Vol. 19, No. 3 of The Baker Street
Journal in which he asserted that we're mistaken in believing
that Sherlock Holmes used cocaine. Don't believe us? Well, it's
just a Trifle.
