# And as far as some codes that wer *never* broken, don't be too
# sure, as we don't have an FOIA over here (UK).  My father knew one of the

See Kahn's book on the naval Enigma effort.

It also has a good story re: keeping secrets. Seems the King toured
Bletchley Park and recognized a friend of his daughter.  He greeted her
and asked what her job was. She replied along the lines of "I'm not
permitted to tell you..."
