Tsantes, however, was not so obvious a target. Born in New York City of Greek immigrant parents, the highly decorated Viet Nam veteran was eager to be posted to Athens. Since arriving there last March, he had been chief of the naval section of the Joint U.S. Military Aid Group, Greece (JUSMAGG), which administers American military aid programs. Established after World War II, JUSMAGG acquired a reputation among Greeks for working with the CIA to influence domestic politics, though in recent years its activities had been sharply curtailed.

The landing at Puerto Castilla on Honduras' northern coast marked the beginning of a seven-day training mission with 700 Honduran troops. It was part of a series of joint military exercises involving the U.S. and its staunchly anti-Communist ally.

Moreover Newhouse executives saw little prospect of improvement, and even less that the community-minded Pulitzer family would close the Post-Dispatch...
...stipulated: "If one or more satisfactory expressions of interest are received before 5:30 p.m. on Nov 22, a reasonable opportunity will be provided by Newhouse and Pulitzer to negotiate the purchase of the Globe-Democrat before it is discontinued." A sale, however, would place the newspaper outside the joint operating agreement.
