Not The First 'closed' Case For Negroponte

JOHN Dimitri Negroponte has a birthday today, his 65th. He has been a warrior from the dark side a long time. Almost 40 years ago, when the Menzies government committed Australian troops to the American military and political tragedy of Vietnam, Negroponte was a young "political affairs officer" at the United States embassy (1964-68) in what was then Saigon.
