Duehay was elected in an unusual turn of events after Councillor Katherine Triantafillou won enough votes to become mayor and then lost all but one vote as her peers changed their votes in favor of Duehay...
...know lawyers and businessmen who won't meet in a hotel room with a colleague of the opposite sex. But Clinton, fighting accusations that while Governor he exposed himself to a female state employee, is now accused of behavior so reckless, so arrogant, so tawdry that if the charges turn out to be true, he should be ashamed to show his face, much less brag that he is going about "business as usual."

That left Morris (though still the director of record) the odd man out. Show publicists claim Morris remains in close touch with the production and is offering input, but he described his role to TIME late last week as a "visiting dignitary...
