Said Winston Lord, president of the Council on Foreign Relations: "Hyland has outstanding experience, intellect and objectivity...
...more straightforward level, the mainstream media enjoy uncomfortably close links to the military establishment. Leslie Gelb became to the New York Times national security correspondent after serving in the Pentagon during the Johnson Administration, he left the paper to occupy a high national security position for President Carter and was replaced by reporter Richard Burt, who now serves as Director of Political Military Affairs in the Reagan State Department...
