Love Feast. Despite Kirk's retreat, he had profited from the bizarre affair. For one thing, he won for his cause a powerful friend in court: the Justice Department. The Nixon Administration sought desperately to defuse the situation and avoid confronting the maverick Republican Governor with troops.

...fell onto some girl, and almost got into a tussle with her boyfriend, but then stumbled off the train. When I finally got back into town, it was nearing midnight, and I figured a couple of more short rides would do it. I went to Government Center, then to Maverick, where I caught the last train back to Government Center, then to Park to wait for the last one of the day: the 12:45 to Harvard. I was beside myself with pride...
