They brought out some MOST intriguing info about these big red blocks of headers that appeared at the top of a piece of paper or email print-out to denote highly sensitive material, AS WELL AS the little bitty &quot c)" that could be and was included a block of text or paragraph or phrase to denote a bit of sensitive material in that particular part of the text.
