I was reading an early-80's paper on OS security and it mentioned some work
from the 1950's on this.  I've heard comments about knowledge of Tempest issues
during this time from various people, but this is the earliest reference I've
found in a published article.  If I can re-locate the source I'll post a
reference to it.
