Appropriately, he starts at the beginning, in 1932 and the State Senate campaign of John Cotter. Cotter--and Sutton--lost that first campaign, but Sutton still has fond memories of the man he followed in politics; he describes Cotter as "a gas meter reader, who sold cars--a neighborhood kid with an exceptionally fine personality--one of the most most honest people I've ever been associated with in politics...

Like many a middle-age professional man, he has problems with the home office (obstructive tactics by the chancery, presided over by Monsignor "Catfish" Toohey, a despised rival of Joe's since childhood), with his clients (an overbearing parishioner who wants to buy his child's way into the church school) and with his territory (blatant boosterism for the suburb's tacky shopping mall, dominated...
