Backcourt steal of the month: The Herald-American's luring away the Globe's columnist and editorial writer Ken Hartnett, to become city editor--the first such switch of a top Globe staffer in living memory...
Brzezinski then directed NSC Staffer William Hyland, a veteran Government Sovietologist and former close aide to Kissinger, to draft negotiating instructions for Vance. Hyland produced what became known as "the comprehensive proposal."
