...truth, but could never find the words. Occasionally his housekeeper of more than 40 years, Dona Maria de Jesus Caetano Freire, would try to persuade him to "resign" because of his health, but each time he would reply: "I cannot go. There is no one else." When Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, dictator of Portugal for 36 years, died at 81 last week from the effects of a heart attack and a kidney infection, he was still unaware that he had lost his authority...
Austere old Dictator Antonio de Oliveira Salazar is still unaware that he was replaced 15 months ago while in a deep coma following a stroke-and he may never find out. No one in Portugal has so far been able to summon up the nerve to tell the old man that his 36-year reign is over.

He took over as the country's head of government 21 months ago, after a stroke crippled António de Oliveira Salazar and ended the old dictator's 36 years of repressive rule. Portugal's democrats and intellectuals hoped that Caetano would announce the liberalizing reforms that he had promised in his inaugural address...
