Yep; it was called the "Canary Trap" -- specifically, the summary paragraphs of each section were different in each copy of the paper, 4 our of 64 versions, IIRC -- they were intended to be quote-fodder, and if they *did* get quoted, you knew who leaked the paper.

Quite ingenious, and the CIA probably *still* isn't using it.
