This article examines the tensions brought to the relationship between two of the major figures of post-war American journalism, Cyrus L. Sulzberger and Harrison E. Salisbury, during the late 1970s by the accusation that Sulzberger had been a long-standing 'asset' of the CIA. The relentless efforts of Salisbury to pursue the story during the research for his 1980 book Without Fear or Favor, which dealt with the recent history of the New York Times, brought his previous friendship with Sulzberger to a breaking point, but also produced the revelation that Salisbury himself had once been regarded by the CIA as a willing and cooperative source of information on the communist bloc. This personal story serves to bring out the wider themes of the ambiguous relationship between journalism and intelligence and the connections between the CIA and the media that began to be exposed during the 1970s.

LEAD: It was a refreshing breath of air to read Harrison E. Salisbury's article on walking. I too have a love affair with walking. My ''love affair'' actually led to the divorce of a husband!

I was enjoying [Harrison E. Salisbury]'s ''A Love Affair With Walking'' (April 16) until I came upon his derisive comments on Los Angeles, a place he says ''no one of right mind'' would consider walking in. I invite Mr.

A review of Harrison E.

Recent scholarship has shown that U.S. policymakers went to war in Vietnam despite full knowledge of problems they would find there. Why then did policymakers set aside their worries and head down a highly uncertain road? This article proposes examining why institutions that criticized U.S. policymaking did not do so as forcefully as they might have. Specifically, it explores constraints that operated within the news media by investigating the controversy that swirled around a series of stories written by Harrison Salisbury and published by the New York Times in 1966 and 1967. These stories, written during and after Salisbury's extraordinary trip to North Vietnam, directly challenged several of the Johnson administration's claims about the war. Predictably, administration officials criticized the series. More surprisingly, Salisbury encountered condemnation from other publications and even his own paper. The article describes these critiques and discusses constraints on independent, critical reporting within the media.

The old secrecy is being replaced by a factitious appearance of ''openness'' and ''candor'' to better deceive American opinion. Mr. [Anatoly F. Dobrynin] and his fellow ''Americanists,'' Georgi A. Arbatov and Aleksandr N. Yakovlev, should receive the Order of Lenin for this highly sophisticated coup of disinformation. ELIAS M. SCHWARZBART New York City

Mr. [Harrison E. Salisbury]'s book penetrates some of that secrecy and provides a fascinating look at a remote pocket of the world. It is also a dramatic and compassionate account of the people who live there and the disaster that befell them. And ''The Great Black Dragon Fire'' is another warning to everyone who is concerned about what is happening to planet Earth. Harrison E. Salisbury, the distinguished former New York Times correspondent and the author of, among other books, ''The Long March: The Untold Story,'' is one of the few foreigners to have visited the remote, devastated region. ''The Great Black Dragon Fire'' is the sobering story of a catastrophe whose full impact has yet to be measured or understood. The Chinese are convinced that the fires affected their climate, and there has been speculation that they may have further damaged the fragile ozone layer.

One of the Young Marshal's closest friends is President Lee Teng-hui of Taiwan, whom he will visit later this month. \"We are both Christians,\" the Young Marshal says. \"We can talk together.\" But he quickly adds: \"The Chinese Communist Party has been very friendly to me.\" The Young Marshal came to America to discuss his ideas with a broad range of Chinese. \"I am not to be influenced by other people,\" he proclaimed. \"I don't want to do anything against the wishes of either the Communists or Taiwan.\" [Zhang Xueliang] and Chiang Kai-shek in China in 1930 with [Chiang]'s sister-in-law; Mr. Zhang's wife; and Song Meiling, Chiang's wife.
