He also assumed his room would be bugged, and so he put his mind on caution: say nothing sensitive in close quarters. He found himself utterly unsurprised by the city as he drove from the airport to his hotel: "It was drab, monotonous, massive." Only the dazzling, painted spires and domes of the Kremlin and St. Basil's cathedral seemed to challenge the glum and crowded streets. The place brooded, threatened, Helms thought...
