...English press trumpeted the Crockford's affair, Runcie offered no response to the attack. Senior ecclesiastics instantly rushed to the primate's defense, observing that he had been anything but weak in criticizing Margaret Thatcher's treatment of the poor.

Then, out of jealousy for co-star Dustin Hoffman's character, he demanded that Goldman write in a love interest for him; and, in what Goldman justifiably terms a "gutless betroyal," Redford allowed Carl Bernstein and Nora Ephron to write a completely different draft behind Goldman's back.
