Broken: “Emergency Destruction of Documents,” “Development of Automatic Telegraph Swithing Systems,” “Chatter Patterns: A Last Resort,” “Introduction to Traffic Analysis,” “Signals from Outer Space,” “Science and Cryptology,” “A New Concept in Computing,” “Data Transmission Over Telephone Circuits,” “Soviet Science and Technology: Present Levels and Future Prospects,” “A Program for Correcting Spelling Errors,” “The Borders of Cryptology,” “A Cryptologic Fairy Tale,” “Why Analog Computation?”, “Book Review: Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision,” “Soviet Communications Journals as Sources of Intelligence,” “Something May Rub Off!”, “Time Is,” “Communications with Extraterrestrial Intelligence,” “The Library and the User,” “Mokusatsu: One Word, Two Lessons,” “Key to The Extraterrestrial Messages,” and “Earliest Applications of the Computer at NSA.”
