GOPoliticians are cagily watching its progress and wondering if he will let them climb aboard his band wagon. The state's Republican brass is beginning to shine up to him.

He will spend more time with his eight grandchildren and further develop his amateur virtuosity at printing ("I am an old-fashioned type plugger"), carpentry ("I stick to plane surfaces, straight lines, and right angles") and photography. But he and his wife plan to remain in Boston. "Whenever the congregation wants me," said he last week, "they'll just have to whistle...
