  • 9 Purple 18/2
    THE CONCORD REVIEW 223 A VERY PURPLE-XING CODE Michael Cohen Groups cannot work together without communication between them. In wartime, it is critical that correspondence between the groups, or nations in the case of World War II, be concealed from the eyes of the enemy. This necessity leads nations to develop codes to hide their messages’ meanings from unwanted recipients. Among the many codes used in World War II, none has achieved a higher level of fame than Japan’s Purple code, or rather the code that Japan’s Purple machine produced. The breaking of this code helped the Allied forces to defeat their enemies in World War II in the Pacific by providing them with critical information. The code was more intricate than any other coding system invented before modern computers. Using codebreaking strategy from previous war codes, the U.S. was able to crack the Purple code. Unfortunately, the U.S. could not use its newfound knowl- edge to prevent the attack at Pearl Harbor. It took a Herculean feat of American intellect to break Purple. It was dramatically intro- duced to Congress in the Congressional hearing into the Pearl Harbor disaster.1 In the ensuing years, it was discovered that the deciphering of the Purple Code affected the course of the Pacific war in more ways than one. For instance, it turned out that before the Americans had dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, Purple Michael Cohen is a Senior at the Commonwealth School in Boston, Massachusetts, where he wrote this paper for Tom Harsanyi’s United States History course in the 2006/2007 academic year.

  • An Introduction to a Historic Computer Document: Betting on the Future - the 1946 Pendergrass Report Cryptanalysis and the Digital Computer
    UNCLASSIFIED An Introduction to a Historic Computer Document: Betting on the Future - The 1946 Pendergrass Report Cryptanalysis and the Digital Computer COLIN BURKE The codebreakers of the American navy's OP-20-G had struggled since the early 1930s to obtain the funds needed to design and build high-speed electronic analytic machines. [11,21 Unfortunately, their mid-1930's project, which was led by Vannevar Bush of MIT, did not produce a truly successful device. The developmental funds and the institutional supports provided by the navy were insufficient for the challenging move into digital electronics. The relatively special-purpose, optical-electronic Comparator that Bush constructed for the navy in 1938 was unreliable. OP-20-G began World War II with only a handful of IBM electromechanical tabulators and the hope that massive funding of electronics research would finally allow the creation of the more powerful Rapid Analytic machines Bush had suggested to the navy's S.C. Hooper and Joseph Wenger in 1936. [211 Hooper and Wenger hoped that such machines, distant cousins of the programmed digital electronic computer, would allow OP-20-G to create and apply advanced mathematical and statistical cryptanalytic techniques. A stable, long-term program to develop the Rapid Machines might have led OP-20-G to be among the very first to conceive of and build a modern electronic computer, but the chance for such a program had been lost in the 1930s. It could not be reborn during the war. The demands created by Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Atlantic turned OP-20-G away from speculative projects.

  • Teaching the Conflicts Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon And
    Teaching the Conflicts Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle Lee Barbrook Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle University May 2012 Abstract I read Neal Town Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle to interrogate what types of links they make to US countercultural writing, postmodern discourse in American culture, and perceived uninterrogated links to the term America itself in images of modern progressive liberalism. Postmodernist readings of literary texts came under increasing public scrutiny in intellectual debates of the 80s and 90s. My analysis is to situate and reconsider these fictions within debates happening in the North American academy at this time and the more recent one concerning the demise of poststructuralism in the humanities. Linking together works of Sean McCann, Michael Szalay, John Guillory and Mark McGurl I locate Cryptonomicon as constitutive of the postwar drift from the modernist aesthetic yet simultaneously developing within Sacvan Bercovitch’s model of dissensus. Through reference to McGurl’s work in particular, my thesis will offer the first sustained critical reading of Cryptonomicon relevant to the University’s new teaching standards of diversity and research excellence . Through Lauren Berlant’s concept of an intimate public I argue The Baroque Cycle develops a richly aesthetic form of criticism that challenges the consensus view of culturally affirming alternatives to American sociopolitical and economic life. In addition, each chapter charts specific aspects of the impact of European critical theories that presided over the marriage of intellectualism and professionalism in the North American academy. More specifically, and throwing particular focus on resistances to theory and canon change, I discuss how the politics of the classroom developed within the literary culture wars brought with it a renewed emphasis on what postwar professors taught in the classroom.

Neoliberal Metaphors in Presidential Discourse from Ronald Reagan to Donald T... 1 Neoliberal Metaphors in Presidential Discourse from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump Jérôme Viala-Gaudefroy 1 Neoliberalism is an ambiguous and complex concept. Unlike Keynesianism, it is not a unified doctrine (Davies 2017: 19). It is sometimes employed without any clear definition, or its meaning reduced to laissez-faire economics. The difficulty in defining neoliberalism may come partly from the asymmetry of its usage. Today, it is used almost exclusively in the negative sense, and no one self-identifies as a “neoliberal” (Boas and Gan-Morse 2009: 138-40). Its meaning is also context-dependent and the result of a complicated historical development (Coles 2017: 21). 2 The word itself goes back to the 1890s (Oxford English Dictionary), but the idea of a new form of economic liberalism really emerged in the 1930s.

  • The Case of the Uncrackable Code
    THE NUM8ER MY5TERIES – Presented by Professor Marcus du Sautoy LECTURE 4: THE CASE OF THE UNCRACKABLE CODE Broadcast on: 28 th December 2006 Part 1 Marcus Welcome to The Number Mysteries and the case of the uncrackable code. Ever since we’ve been communicating we’ve been using codes, but it’s during wartime that codes become really important. You don’t want your enemy to know what you’re going to do next. Now one of the most sophisticated encoding machines is this one here. It’s called the Enigma machine, and it was used by the Germans during the Second World War. They used it to keep their messages secret and they thought this was uncrackable, but mathematicians sitting up in Bletchley Park – just north of London – found a way to crack this code. During this lecture, we’re going to try and re-enact this great feat of the mathematicians by challenging a team up at Bletchley Park to break the Enigma code. Now earlier today, Evil Andy over here locked away a load of sweets inside this safe. He’s locked it with a combination, and only Evil Andy knows the combination. To make it even doubly secure, he used our Enigma machine to encode the numbers and so it’s become an even more scrambled mess. I’ve found this secret message that he’s encoded here, and we’re getting it now, sent up to Bletchley Park. This is Daniel Clack and he’s sending it by Morse code, to the mathematicians in Bletchley Park, and we’re hoping they’re going to be able to decode this message.
