TOP SECRET XXXXX

Two Commendations for ........................................................................

They are still classified above Top Secret.

So is 1917-8 code work from World War I.

Don't wait for this to be de-classified.

WARNING


I can be an utter bore talking about cryptanalysis and about Ultra and Enigma and Purple and the Black Chamber and Turing and Bush and codes and ciphers and the real development of computers.

Avoid me.

My time spent in Intelligence provided a very special education. I recommend it. You will never read a newspaper the same way afterwards.
