Obrigado, MaryAnn -- although I should correct one error I made (I blame the late hour and having just been writing about some other political leaders): I referred to the "prime minister" of the Azores, but the chief executive, the Azorean head of government, is in fact termed the "president" (more fully, the "presidente do Governo Regional dos Açores," the "president of the Regional Government of the Azores").
