Parasites With Cloaks and Daggers: The Spy Circus
MacKenzie, Compton | December 5, 1959 issue

According to Nikita Khrushchev, Russians have broken one of the American codes. That may well be true, but the public must not jump to the conclusion that some sinister master-spy in the top television class had been able to tempt an American citizen to sell the contents of a code book to him. If a cipher has been broken, it will have been broken by a team of industrious and patient experts working in a back room somewhere in Moscow; and against that possibility there is no defense except continuous changing of the ciphers.
