It is the story Calloway's...I think I found it. It is the story Calloway's Code by O Henry http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/14992/<br /><br />Here is the path I took to get there.<br /><br />After searching for all sorts of different words associated with those mentioned I went to the Library of Congress web site and had a live chat with a research librarian. During our discussion I remembered there is the National Security Agency's National Cryptologic Museum in the area. <br /><br />Looking through their web site and virtual tour http://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic_heritage/museum/virtual_tour/index.shtml I saw mention of the Kahn Collection.<br /><br />Looked up Dr. David Kahn and found http://david-kahn.com/david-kahn-books-literature.htm<br /><br />I went to Google Books and tried ["David Kahn" cliche]. BINGO!<br />http://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks%3A1&tbo=1&q=%22david+kahn%22+cliche&btnG=Search+Books<br /><br />First result shows this snippet<br />"Calloway, a newspaper correspondent, gets a scoop past the censor's eye by using the first half of a newspaper cliche as the codeword for the second half, which forms the plaintext." <br /><br />Then I did a Google Search for [calloway cliche censors] that showed me it was a short story by O Henry titled "Calloway's Code."krossbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877826327758153784noreply@blogger.com
