With possible access to U.S. teletype and voice communications systems, Watkins said, the Soviets gained "the ability to better understand what they observed" of U.S. naval maneuvers. This may have helped the U.S.S.R. shorten the American technological lead in antisubmarine warfare. Naval tactics and capabilities in air and surface warfare were compromised as well. Fortunately, the Chief of Naval Operations said, much of the information that might have passed to the Soviets was "perishable," coding systems that are constantly changed and hence of little use to an enemy.

All were present or former Navy men, and all lived in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, the home base of the Atlantic nuclear fleet and a center of highly classified shipbuilding. While each had some access to the secrets of submarine warfare and coded communications, authorities had hoped that the ring was limited by geography and surname...
...Byron White for the majority, are not comparable to face-to-face solicitation of clients, which can be prohibited because it is "rife with possibilities for overreaching . . . and outright fraud." The court rejected the contention that ads like Zauderer's will "stir up litigation" unnecessarily. "That our citizens have access to their civil courts is not an evil to be regretted," said White.
