When flashed, Duehay's credentials lean heavily towards the liberal end of the council. A leader in the fight to maintain what he calls the "livability" of Cambridge neighborhoods (downzoning, anti-fast food, controlled development) Duehay has also been in the forefront of city fiscal management, playing a key role in keeping the Cambridge budget trim. And of all the councilors, Duehay has been the first and most active in making sure that Harvard doesn't receive more than its fair share of the city's benefits...
...program listing for a now defunct local talk show on San Francisco-Oakland's KTVU. The notice said that guests for the show on Sept. 20,1968, would include Pat Montandon, a well-known Bay Area hostess who had written a book about giving imaginative parties on lean budgets, and an unnamed masked prostitute.

He reads the eyes of his subjects, waiting for that second when they reveal the facet of character he wants: he allows...
...fall of Gonçalves represents the most devastating setback that military radicals and their Communist supporters have suffered since the start of the April 1974 revolution. The new Revolutionary Council appears to lean solidly toward the moderate-center; it contains seven moderates, eight swing officers and only four known cohorts of Gonçalves. Last week's actions also apparently restored the Council to its role as supreme arbiter of the revolution; its power had been eclipsed since the creation in late July of a ruling triumvirate composed of Gonçalves, President Francisco da Costa Gomes...
