It probably took 30 years to catch them because the State Dept. is so full of Leftist traitors that this pair didn’t seem out of place, and the other pinkos wouldn’t turn them in anyway even if they publicly said “we’re spies.”
30 years.....lets see: neither Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, nor Bush 2 admins could catch these old Trotskyite, lefty, hippy amateur spies. Pitiful.
They'd look right at home strolling around Harvard Square.

Unwritten, but assumed to be the NYT’s closing line: “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
They can now come out into the sunshine and get immunity from Obama.
Senator Joseph McCarthy had all these anti-American infiltrator’s pegged a long time ago. Think how many Soviets he outted and was totally vindicated by the Venona Project. Of course the liberal elites will never let that bag out of the bag...
“liberals” = communists/socialists = demise of America
Parachute them into Cuba.
Typical. In Whittaker Chambers’ book Witness, he marvels at the fact that most of the most hardened Communist spies in the State Dept were the comfortable, Harvard-educated products of old New England families with old money.
Well his mother was.
Well, they sure got careless. They just accepted someone else waltzing into the picture saying they were from Cuba without any continuity from their known contacts. If you’re going to play spy vs. spy, you don’t do stupid things like that.
(Glad, of course, they got caught.)
