...central figure in domestic policy as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Finch is a "moderate" Republican, just like his boss. But he gets along well with California's right-wing extremists. He directed U.S. Sen. George Murphy's campaign in 1964, and he ran comfortably on Ronald Reagan's ticker for Lieutenant-Governor. Perhaps both men have decided that the cities deserve more than tax incentives to lure business into the ghettoes, but they have no indicated any change of heart since the election. Nixon's biggest contribution to the urban crisis has been to appoint Rogers--a county...
Blocked at Home. Finch helped organize Nixon's 1962 gubernatorial campaign, but even as Nixon lost, Finch started to get the political fever again. The political winds at the time were blowing hard toward Ronald Reagan, and a wiser Finch decided to skip the big contest and content himself with the lieutenant-governorship. In a surprisingly large victory, Finch succeeded in outpolling Reagan by about 100,000 votes. All through this period, Finch remained close to Nixon.

...Capote, "what were you expecting-Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm?" Capote, who has since acquired rights to the $250,000 film, screened it for TV critics in Manhattan recently. There were chilling prison vignettes and fascinating interviews with condemned convicts, as well as a defense of capital punishment by Ronald Reagan. But the film lacked organization and a coherent point of view. With some favorable reviews to his credit, Capote obviously hopes that another network or syndicate will take the documentary and, if nothing else, embarrass ABC. It would serve them right, says Capote. "All I ever did for that damn...
