    "A few days later the Greenglasses ate dinner at the Rosenbergs where a plan was designed for David to exchange information in New Mexico with a courier who would be sent by Julius. To enable David to identify this courier, Julius cut a Jell-O box into two irregularly shaped pieces, gave one piece to David, and said the other piece would be given to the courier."
