Talbott covered the U.S.-Soviet Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, and subsequently turned his reportage into a 1979 book, Endgame: The Inside Story of SALT 11.

Said Chafets: "ABC, from the time that [Toolan's death] happened, in my view, began a policy which I would describe as cowardly." The recent 20/20 segment "Under the Israeli Thumb" by Correspondent Tom Jarriel, Chafets said, was "one of the most malicious, distorted and one-sided programs about Israel shown on any American network in recent years."
