 | | Of the 20 magazine titles published in the 1938-1949 time span, in this single year of 1941 there were over 100 individual issues on the news stands, a veritable cornucopia for delighted (and overwhelmed) readers. |
 | | In this decade, of course, World War II was fought, and as parts of the vast global military effort, the real world was flung into the atomic age (1945), the computer age (BINAC, 1945; ENIAC 1946), and the age of intercontinental ballistic missiles (V-2 attacks in 1944). |
 | | These new realities were calculated by the new mathematics of Cryptology and Game Theory. |
