It is the issue of security that colors the case and sets it apart from earlier precedents. In their more feverish moments, Government officials have argued that disclosure of the documents will enable the Communists to break American codes. They would only have to compare the deciphered cables in the Times with the coded U.S. messages they have on file for the same day. They might then acquire enough information to break...
