Talk:Laurance Safford

multiple problems
As of this data, the article is full of inaccuracy and misinterpretation, some of them subtle. It needs a thorough pruning and tightening.

I will try to get back to it in the near future, but invite others to have at it. ww 19:15, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about Safford, but I don't believe anyone's known to have broken Typex during WWII. This article is a wikified import of the NSA "Hall of Honor" blurb at, by the way. &mdash; Matt Crypto 01:03, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The "multiple problems" I'm noticing relate to the use of peculiar words and phrases that range from annoying to nonsensical. I don't want to start trying to fix it because I know nothing about the subject and therefor my guesses about what the writer intended to say could be way off. Someone who knows about both the English language, and Safford's place in the history of WW2 code-breaking, should try to rescue this.
