  Going
as far back as ancient times, governments have been
encrypting confidential messages. Julius Caesar was famous
for encoding military communications using a simple
substitution cipher. The Second World War forced combatants
across the globe to coordinate far-flung militaries by radio
and telegraphy, every transmission susceptible to
interception. The Soviets, obsessive about secrecy, chose a
mode invented in the 1880s called the ''one-time pad.'' The

was a luxury their ancestors in Ireland were likely unable to
afford — Irish farmers exported beef to England but ate
pork, which was cheaper, at home. No, corned beef does not
