Researching TEMPEST,. Came across this odd statement
Pennsylvania University science professor Matt Blaze also expressed some amazement at the Bell researchers discovering as early as 1943
that digital equipment leaked information.
Declassified NSA doc...secret history of Tempest
Seems to me there's a lot more to "we have it all"
Digital information known to leak in 1943... Imagine that treasure trove of unredacted history
After Resolute was broken up, Queen Victoria asked for several desks to be built from her timbers. Four desks were designed and made by William Evenden. A large partners desk was presented to President Rutherford B. Hayes on November 23, 1880, while a smaller lady's desk was presented to the widow of Henry Grinnell; this desk is now in the New Bedford Whaling Museum. Finally, the Queen had two desks made for herself: one is a small writing table catalogued online (with a photograph showing its plaque) .[15] The second is a smaller writing table which she had made for her private yacht, HMY Victoria and Albert II. The National Museum of the Royal Navy loaned the item for a short exhibition, however the table was returned to the Royal Collection after the loan period ended in 2008.
The existence of the "(almost) twin" desk, the one similar to the desk given to the US President, has been denied by the Royal Collection at St James's Palace in London.
The desk was removed from the White House only once, after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, when President Lyndon Johnson allowed it to go on a traveling exhibition with the Kennedy Presidential Library. After this it was put on display in the Smithsonian Institution.

Intelligent people exercise humility because of their superior ability to acknowledge their own ignorance; courage when faced by chaos and the vast unknown; and an undying spirit of exploration seeking knowledge and understanding with a skeptical but open-minded attitude.
Oh, and they lean towards applying the Golden Rule, use politeness, diplomacy and show respect. They are also large enough of heart to know when they are wrong but not too grandiose to also apologize and try to make amends.
They are also tough old bastards who never back down from bullies but are not too tough to be willing to forgive.
