In the book Cryptography and Data Security by Dorothy
Elizabeth Robling Denning, was the answer to the
book wide puzzle "DoNotBreakThis" or "DoNotBreamThis"?
Bream is a real word (= clean by heating and scraping)
but the word 'Break' would be more appropriate.

The marked page numbers on my copy are

 122, 138, 151, 164, 175, 184, 203, 221, 241, 272, 278, 287, 323, 356

Is this right?

"Bream" it is.  Note that there is no word starting with 'K' in the first
107 words of the Declaration of Independence, so she picked one with 'K'
as the first letter of the second syllable.

Any book that cites me prominently gets my full attention. :)  See pp 70 ff.
