Richard Vincent Allen (born January 1, 1936) was the United States National Security Advisor to President Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1982.

Allen was born in 1936 in Collingswood, New Jersey. A graduate of Saint Francis Preparatory School in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, Allen received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Notre Dame. He served as a senior staff member of President Nixon's National Security Council in 1968 and served various Republican administrations up to and including that of President Reagan.

In November 1981, while serving as Reagan's National Security Advisor, Allen was accused of receiving a bribe from a journalist from Japan for setting up an interview in January 1981 with First Lady Nancy Reagan. Ronald Reagan said, in his diary, that the Japanese magazine gave cash gifts to people that it interviewed, and that Allen had stepped in to intercept the check to avoid embarrassment for Nancy Reagan, then gave the check to his secretary, who put it in an office safe. Then when Allen changed offices, the check was found left in the safe. The FBI cleared everyone involved, then the Justice Department began its own investigation, and the story got leaked to the press. Reagan believed it was just political sabotage behind leaking the story. Although the claims were never proven, Allen was eventually pressed into resigning his position.

Richard Michael Duffy (born 30 August 1985) is a Wales international footballer who plays for Exeter City. He was originally on trial at League One side Exeter City and decided to join them on a permanent basis in July 2009. He is a versatile player who can contribute in defensive or midfield positions.

Duffy, who is the younger brother of footballer Robert Duffy, began his career at Swansea City, making his debut for them in December 2001. He soon established himself as an important defender in the Swansea squad, but unfortunately suffered spondylosis of the lower back and was out injured for over a year.

He returned at the start of the 2003–04 season, and soon won a regular place in the first team. He scored his first career goal in a 3–0 win over Macclesfield in September 2003. The Wales youth international soon began to attract the attention of scouts from bigger clubs, and in January 2004 he was sold to Premiership side Portsmouth for a six-figure sum.

Duffy made his debut in May 2004, coming on as a substitute against Fulham. At the beginning of the 2004–05 season he was loaned out to Burnley in order to gain match experience, and gained much admiration from the Burnley fans for his excellent performances. Duffy scored in Burnley's 2–1 win away to Leeds United at Elland Road. The young Welshman spent some of his loan spell at Turf Moor playing as a right-winger and showed his versatility before later being loaned to Coventry City.
