"One of our district managers in Uruguay, for instance, was kidnapped by the Tupamaros."

He wasn't Dan Mitrione, was he?

No. It was another guy, a few years later. I think Mitrione was killed in 1970, and this would have been about 1972 or so.

What a strange set of coincidences in your life. Just as an aside Watergate came up in one of my random CIA FOIA reading room trawls. It was a list of all the Watergate players and their clearances. Those dudes had pretty high clearances across the board. Above the law.
