"Every day for 38 years! From Nixon to Barack Obama!"

The veteran Journalist in State Departament Lambros Pantoniou


Among those on hand was Lambros Papantoniou, known to everyone as "Mr. Lambros," a journalist for a Greek newspaper. He has been here a while."Every day for 38 years! From Nixon to Barack Obama!" he said in introducing himself.

With little competition, he managed to fire off three questions to Wood, on Afghanistan, Russia and Cyprus. But it's the nature of the State Department to be circumspect. "You have to know what you can say and what you can't say," Wood says. Papantoniou gets frustrated: "You don't get enough information to write something. It's never enough."
