...modest man who keeps his private life so quiet that no one even knows whether he is married. Cunhal attributes the party's success to tireless organization. In Path to Victory, published in 1964, he wrote: "Those who witness great struggles by the masses . . . many times imagine that they appear by magic, as a result of spontaneous indignation of the people or perhaps through emotional appeals.

He later became a corporate securities lawyer and then a middle-level Treasury official. He left that post in 1973 for the Federal Energy Office, then headed by Simon, where he established himself as a crack coordinator and credible witness in congressional hearings. When Simon became Treasury Secretary, he tailored a new job especially for Parsky. Among other things, Parsky is charged with developing policies to muffle the impact...
