Hughes had been bedridden since he broke his hip in a fall in 1973, his doctors explained. An operation in London to insert a pin in his femur failed, and Hughes would not submit to a second operation. As a result, he was in constant pain and developed an addiction to codeine.

...committees. It's an incredible story of a brilliant man who has stood up. There're a lot of brilliant men around--Nader, Galbraith, Gardner--but they didn't want to take the abuse.

They point out that code machines, Western and Russian models alike, are constructed in a manner that enables the operator to reset circuits and insert new encoding or decoding disks at random so that yesterday's code may give scant clue to today's. Even so, influential U.S. cryptologists at the time believed that an examination of the Russian equipment would increase the possibility that the U.S. might finally succeed in breaking Soviet codes, a feat that...
