...radio show, Finer, 57, a onetime welterweight at the University of London, has just done a series of twelve solo TV shows devoted to "Government and Human Nature." As high-strung as any star, Finer goes on the air fortified by repeated cups of coffee and doses of cough syrup, gives a vibrant performance (a fan describes him as "a real ancient George Gobel type").
