There's an amazing news story about George Fabyan that can be found at http://www.nandotimes.com/entertainment/story/26312p-469652c.html I'd summarize it, but I don't think it compresses well semantically... Let it suffice to say that Fabyan is the guy who founded the lab where William Friedman learned cryptography. And the plaque on the wall that thanks Fabyan was presented by the NSA. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
