Sen. Kennedy Uses Code to Disguise Personal Data!
Fellow 'punks - This comes from the National Journal and it sure as hell ain't an April Fools Day joke. Read the last line carefully! -----No. 5 of 40------------------------ 04/02/94 -- (C) 1994 National Journal (LEGI-SLATE Article No. 201346) Inside Washington - Here's a Real Weighty Matter "National Journal" Saturday, April 2, 1994 Page 759 Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., used the recent death of Senate gym attendant Troy Brown as an opportunity to discuss his own much-noted waistline problems. Brown, Kennedy told his colleages in late March, helped him monitor his tendency "to gain a few pounds on occasion." While reassuring the Senator that it had been OK to graze on eggs Benedict that morning, Brown discreetly recorded Kennedy's weight in the back of the gym book so that no other Senator could see them. "I knew he was on my side," Kennedy added, "when he volunteered to keep my numbers in code." -- Best regards, Curtis D.

So, just how is this to be taken? I don't understand, Curtis. Do you know something about Kennedy's position on issues of information privacy that you'd like to expand on here? Kennedy's comment seems more of an inconsequential offhand remark. Russell

I think this should get Phil Zimmermann's award for best crypto-application... rgds-- TA (tallard@frb.gov) [awaiting approval of new disclaimer] pgp fingerprint: 10 49 F5 24 F1 D9 A7 D6 DE 14 25 C8 C0 E2 57 9D
