He must be old, like me.

I loved Spy Magazine it was one of very few things I read for pleasure in college. Even so, I think it was instrumental for me in forming a critical view of media the included cultural, economic and political perspectives.

Seems much easier to smuggle nukes into a country and just have them on standby in safe houses of the enemy country's large cities. The political fallout of getting caught doing that might be huge, but back in the Cold War I could see the CIA or KGB wanting to give it a try. Even if the US or the USSR (or smaller powers like France) was caught smuggling a nuke, it would likely be kept under wraps. The political system of a country would not want people fearing possible hidden foreign nukes where they live.

This scenario might make an interesting book or movie plot, but I have never heard of one. Spy novel with nukes.
