#3 We were a lot less paranoid, because the FBI had planted a spy beyond suspicion in the American Communist Party, and he was frequently invited to the Kremlin. They didn't even know he spoke Russian fluently, so would talk to each other right in front of him.

He probably single handedly stopped WWIII two or three times. Usually the US was doing something innocuous, and the Russians were freaking out about it, so he got the message back for the US to cut it out, tone it down, or let what was going on leak to the Russians.
