@SchwartzCNS I don't know if we can quite blame MED secrecy for that — MED didn't even exist in March 1942 :-)

@wellerstein Fair point. But secrecy there was! -
@SchwartzCNS Indeed! The first few chapters of my diss. are devoted to the creation of pre-MED secrecy, and how that got amplified by MED.
