in on his family"s political tradition, is already the mayor of Pittsburgh, the youngest mayor of any major city
in the country. Although mayors elsewhere have been younger, Jeff Dunkel was 18 in 2001 when he was

Jimmy Cvetic, a sandwich shop owner, said "I call him Cool Hand Luke. He"ll be all right, but he"s going to
need a cool hand to get through this."
