I was just stumbling around on the 'web and it turns
out the NSA home page has a lot of interesting information about
one of the more famous one-time-pad cracking incidents, which
was codenamed VENONA. The VENONA documents were extremely
interesting material, and are an example of what can happen if
you screw up your use of OTPs. :)
