Blocked at Home. Finch helped organize Nixon's 1962 gubernatorial campaign, but even as Nixon lost, Finch started to get the political fever again.

...still have problems coming to terms with "Christmas," start thinking how different it is from the summer be-ins, spring on the banks of the river with a transistor, fall touch football up and down Plympton St. Christmas is a big secret that everyone else knows. Maybe you wish everyone else didn't know it so you didn't have to ho-ho-ho your way down Mass Ave person by person. But let me ask you, what else do you have that you could be doing when December comes in to rattle the heat pipes if you didn...
