Rich is correct. I was over the top. In response to my (much more polite) letter to Mr. Gladman & New Scientist, it became clear that the error was due to a journalist compressing down his conversation with Mr. Gladman. Brian had been referring to a (rounded up) bit strength for full 56 bit DES.
If Brian Gladman is listening, I apologize.
