    Summary

    "Are you familiar with the painting done by Michelangelo, The Creation of Adam?" Alfred had written to his Russian friend. "I look at a globe, and that is what I imagine when I see the fingers of Russian America reaching out towards you. I imagine those could be my fingers, and we could be separated only by the Bering Sea."

    And Mr. Braginsky had said, "I would like that very much, Mr. Jones."

    And the American government said, "SOLD!"

    Summary

    Alfred and Ivan try to catch each other spying on the other. They're both feeding their governments with information, but they try to break one another before the other does to get the most without giving much, but end up falling for each other.
    --
    "My family escaped from Russia as soon as Stalin died. My father defected and he's working with your government now." Ivan had to tread carefully.
    "Oh is that so? What does your dad know?" Alfred pushed, wanting more information.
    "I don't know, he doesn't talk about work much, he never really did."
    "Even now?"
    "Even now."
