In keeping with tradition the NSA Shop is set to top
the mark as the Festive Season shopping destination
of choice. Gloria Hoff and Gail Wellbeloved have
mounted a national search of trade fairs, suppliers,
crafters, makers and inventors to assure that a
huge selection of homeware, artworks, gifts
and collectables will be available to the
Durban public during the month of December.
Be sure not to miss this event, as we also
offer a shopping experience with a conscience -
all proceeds generated during this time will
be ploughed back into the organisation,
a registered welfare organisation!
Furthermore we sup****t local artists and
craftspeople - keeping the chain of creativity alive.
Two Evenings at the NSA
Thursday 13 December and Thursday 20 December,
until 8:30 pm
Two special events are being organised at the
NSA Gallery for the holidays. Collaborating
with the Arts Cafe, the NSA Complex will be
open to the public for two nights in December.
Make use of this op****tunity to come and relax
in the restaurant outside, entertaining supplied
by the popular "King Boy's" choir and browse
through the special stock displayed for the annual
Christmas exhibition.

11. Body Of Secrets

one former deputy director of the agency.

the boxy, sprawling Munitions Building, near the
Wa****ngton Monument, was a study in monotony.
Endless corridors connecting to endless corridors.
Walls a shade of green common to bad cheese
and fruit. Forests of oak desks separated down
the middle by rows of tall columns, like concrete
redwoods, each with a number designating a
particular workspace.
Oddly, he made a sudden left turn into a nearly
deserted wing. It was lined with closed doors
containing dim, opaque windows and empty name holders.
Where was he going, they wondered, attempting to
keep up with him as beads of perspiration wetted
their brows. At thirty-eight years old, the
Russian-born William Frederick Friedman had
spent most of his adult life studying,
practicing, defining the black art of codebreaking.
"The NSA Christmas party was a big secret," recalled
one former deputy director of the agency.
"They held it at Cole field house but they
called it something else." Officials hold
such titles as Chief of Anonymity, and
even the local newsletter, with its softball
scores and schedules for the Ceramic Crafters
Club, warns that copies "should be destroyed
as soon as they have been read."

Ah ha, Pullman has manics, and Moscow has depressives.
I wondered why Pullman looks so much prettier on a
Dec night than Moscow.
Some would have us believe that it is the Moscow drunks
that keeps downtown from putting up more lights....
at least they say that is the reason NSA's Christmas
lights were vandalized dozens of times the year
they had all those hanging lights.
Since the Moscow Christmas light vandalism apologists
solemnly explained the reason, I have wondered
why Pullman and Colfax don't seem to have problems
with their seasonal decorations that are mostly down
low enough for the drunks to reach.

We boarded a bus Tuesday morning, which took us to
the train station. We boarded the train, and were
directed to the last car. It was a Pullman sleeper
with beds; the conductor said we must remain in
this car except when we had meals in the dining car.
We pulled out of Chicago Station at 10:00 a.m. I felt
no remorse, and I was happy to be leaving Chicago.
Our trip continued, and the train arrived in Albuquerque
1700 (5:00 p.m.) on Friday afternoon.
Many in the class hung out at an Albuquerque coffee shop
called "The Purple Turk." It was located across
from the University of New Mexico College. "Beatniks"
were fa****onable then, and The Purple Turk featured
espresso coffee, poet readings
There were known Russian spies in Albuquerque, and Los
Alamos who were anxious to obtain information
about nuclear weapons.
