TED HALL AVERTS AN AMERICAN MONOPOLY

My decision about contacting the Soviets was a gradual one, and it was entirely my own…. [I]t seemed to me that an American monopoly was dangerous and should be prevented…. I did not have an uncritical view of the Soviet Union. I believed the Soviet Union was a mixture of good and bad things…Of course the situation was far more complicated than I understood at the time.

—TED HALL, 1995
