Complete A. BABANI Even the appearance of the American ambassador Stimson [?] attracted the attention of many of those present. Just as on January 15 last, he wore a well-fitted shirt, 30-31 jacket armikë signed. He posed smiling for the many photographers. In short, Pitkin’s profile resembled not the portrait of any ambassador but, to curious onlookers, the register of the regime in helpers. He provoked a smile from those present at the terminal. The only bodyguard with a worker-like appearance perhaps connected to the “Lyra” case (p. 4)
