Back during
the war,
FDR asked me if I could come up with something along these lines; it would print up a compilation of important troop movements, intelligence info (plus some commentary from yours truly), a digest of world
headlines,
golfing news, and
the first lady's itinerary, every
24 hours. I had Lucy Rutherford rig up some
doohickey that would feed a recording of the
encrypted morse code compilation to a
teletype, which would print it out for the president; people just thought she was his mistress (and a damn fine
secretary to boot), but she was also a
geek grrl.
FDR died, so I never did get my commendation or my promotion out of the mess hall. This whole thing remains Top Secret, so don't you say nothing.
