        I read it in Bamfordīs Body of Secrets.  He also recalls
about an allied operation, called TICOM, to capture german
cryptanalysts and their equipment.  While some secrets of their
finding on Soviet ciphers were related, it was surprising that most
of TICOMīs results are top secret even now.  Perhaps they found out
how penetrated Allied crypto was?  Who knows what secrets lie hidden
that we still are not mature enough to know.

        I hope so!
