...this is a delightful new surprise; never before has a group of Harvard men so vehemently banded around this cause. Maybe these students would like to join Harvard women in a march sometime?

Papandreou did address the affair in a Feb. 14 memorandum to investigators. He said he met Koskotas only three times, at the banker's initiative, between March 4, 1987, and June 30, 1988, during which the two discussed only Koskotas...
