Reagan has long since learned how deftly to return the President's bombs to the sender.

After each transmission, the key is changed, so that even if one message becomes available in decoded form, it will not help unravel the next coded communication. Nonetheless, onetime pads have shortcomings. Since both sender and receiver require the same key, it must be sent out beforehand, exposing it to interception. The system is also cumbersome. Because military and diplomatic messages nowadays involve hundreds and even thousands of words, and each message requires a separate key, devising and distributing the different keys can be agonizingly...
