Guilfoyle claims that Harris called her on the phone, told her she was part of a hiring committee that Guilfoyle says didn't exist, and told her there was no space for her on the staff.
Harris had moved over from the Alameda County DA's office to join Hallinan's team and was dating Mayor Willie Brown for a time.
Hallinan seemed to confirm during a later public debate with Harris that Harris had vehemently opposed the hiring of Guilfoyle, but he went ahead and did it anyway.
The Times explores this "long, strange saga" while cautioning against trivializing the tensions as a "cat fight" between ambitious women.
