[tor-teachers] Questions and notes from BBC interview

[Zachary Zebrowski]

Kenneth,

Just with respect to the ww2 reference, it was done in ww2 as well (source:
https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/kent-csi/vol3no1/html/v03i1a10p_0001.htm
)...  There is an excellent book on the U.K. Side of the war called between
silk and cyanide - a code makers war, by Leo marks, on the subject which
talks about some of the techniques used, both defensive and offensive.
