Reading
I've been reading The Puzzle Palace by Bamford. Some parts of it seem rather boring, where Bamford describes military hierarchy and the succession of people who held any one office (such as DIRNSA). The spy stories and the esoteric facts about Fort Meade (the kind of physical security and approximate quantity of computers there twenty or thirty years ago) are much more exciting to me than, for example, discussions of whether one branch of the Armed Forces tended to be favored over another in the selection of deputy directors.
