...which their representative was told to wait it out: 1) until the abortive counter-coup by Constantine in December 1967, it was thought (and hoped) that the military government would be toppled; and 2) many of the economists with whom the DAS had begun to work under the Papandreou regime felt that the presence of the American team would forestall their own imminent arrest...
...assassination actually occurred four years before the colonels came to power, and there is no known evidence linking them with it. The episode, in fact, had quite different results.

This policy began a tradition of total independence of the Army from...
Under the sponsorship of various Center members, the Center regularly supports the appearance in Cambridge of various foreign intellectuals whose message is characteristically anti-U.S., anti-capitalist, or both. The list in recent years has included Andreas Papandreou, Miguel Wionczek, Helio Jaguaribe, Celso Furtado, and many others. (Celso Furtado, just by the way, is one of those Brazilians we weren't supposed to invite). The appearance of these men is sponsored not because they are anti-U.S., but because they are scholars and intellectuals...
