The Globe Apologizes

By Mark T. Whitaker

The Center for International Affairs (CFIA) has received a formal apology from a Boston Globe columnist who last month quoted remarks made in a CFIA seminar after a CFIA official had told him that all seminar comments are off the record.

Benjamin H. Brown, advisor to the Fellows of the CFIA, said yesterday he received a "courteous" letter of apology from Crocker P. Snow after Brown and Edward R.F. Sheehan, another CFIA member, sent letters to the Globe protesting Snow's actions.

Both letters objected in particular to Snow's suggestion that the seminar focused on the duplicity of Henry A. Kissenger '50 in his role as Secretary of State.

"Snow said in the letter he had forgotten that seminars were off the record," Brown said. "I told him about the rule twice, but he said he forgot."

In his letter to the Globe, Brown said he planned to remove Snow's name from the CFIA mailing list. Snow's name is still off the list now, Brown said.
