BBC Radio 4 (FM Only) 9.45am - 10.00am Monday 6th September to Friday 10th September inclusive. The Code Book With "Fermat's Last Theorem", Simon Singh made a bestseller out of an abstruse mathematical teaser. His new book is about the science of cryptography and the never-ending battle between the code-makers and the code-breakers. All week, Simon Russel Beale tells the stories of breaches in security that lead to the end of empires, including how a faulty code led to the downfall of Mary Queen of Scots. The above is from this week's Radio Times. -- Christopher P Salter Internet : chris@loncps.demon.co.uk Penzance Cornwall <URL:http://www.zynet.co.uk/ott/> United Kingdom <URL:http://www.loncps.demon.co.uk/>
