14 Westebbe, interviews, 5/4/2012 and 4/8/2013; “Demetrios Galanis, Headed Greek Bank,” NYT, 5/5/1973; Economist Westebbe speculated that Pappas may have also taken junta funds for Nixon from the National Bank of Greece, which, based on Pappas’s being a major business client, would have been a relatively softer target. EDP’s sources only mentioned Central Bank involvement.

16 According to former San Francisco mayor George Christopher, Nixon’s 1962 lieutenant-governor running mate and 1968 Nixon-Agnew fundraiser: Pappas “raised a lot of money…working closely with Stans in ’68,” but Christopher was surprised that “nothing listed on records for Pappas.” James Polk, July 3, 1971, notes from Christopher interview, included in letter from Polk to JHB, 12/27/2011

20 Deegan subcontracted part of his work to Burson-Marsteller and a “hard-sell publicist,” Carl Levin. After Deegan, the Greek Embassy relied on Harry Anestos, a suburban criminal defense attorney, because of a friendship he had with Greek Embassy military attaché and later ambassador Iannis Sorokos, but paid him only $18,000 annually, largely to “cultivate” Agnew and congressmen with large Greek-American constituencies.
