Using their extraordinary resources to educate industry and peers to improve the state of the art should be a main operating procedure for a gov funded security organization.

I think the NSA is also behind the EDP Audit, Control and Security Newsletter. I was once invited to contribute a paper but had to cancel because I get a little loopy sometimes. There is the CIA World Fact Book. The CIA also has an online library that I haven't really looked into other than that someone posted a link to some advice for intelligence analysts, on the general topic of avoiding personal bias. entertainmentliason@ucia.gov will send you real spy stories that you may Feed The Monster, that is, write movie or TV scripts. Both the CIA and NSA have "For Kids" sections for those of our younguns who want to grow up to be spies. One of my very best friends is an FBI agent. A former girlfriend endangered national security by listing her work address on our alumni website; she's heavily into math and there aren't many reasons one receives mail at Ft. Meade. That's what post office boxen are for. My second cousin Glenn Thobe speaks better Russian than Vladimir Lenin. Because he had "some connections in the State Department" he was permitted an unescorted five-month visit to the Soviet Union at a time when the Commies feared the Free World far, far more than we feared them - and for good reason. Glenn is a soft-spoken, quiet, good-looking guy, he was young at the time so I expect the Soviet chicks were hurling themselves at him like beached whales. He is also a physicist and an electrical engineer. If you want to win a Cold War when it suddenly grows Hot, you want lots of Physicists and Electrical Engineer but then Uncle Sam launches an Intercontinental Ballistic Vegetarian who doesn't even have a driver's license because he prefers public transport.
