...Senate office behind, Lowenstein was elected president of the National Student Association (NSA) during the summer of 1951. Ivanhoe Donelson, a former SNCC leader, and others in the New Lelt relate his NSA presidency with his involvement as an observer of the Dominican Republic elections of 1965. The unexpected election of conservative Balaguer aroused Leftist cries of a fixed election. The observers, led by Norman Thomas, reported that the elections were reasonably fair. As a consequence Lowenstein is still accused of being a CIA agent. As far as can be determined Lowenstein wasn't offered money from...
...elected treasurer of the Harvard Young Democrats while serving as executive member of the National Executive Board of College Young Democrats. At the same time he was treasurer of the old Harvard Student Council and served on the board of the National Students Association (NSA...
...wonder. In an age of intensive and instant communications, cryptography has acquired supreme importance in guessing and occasionally ascertaining the next step of friend and foe alike. Within the bowels of NSA, constant research is conducted into new theories and systems of communications and codes. Mathematicians probe the domains of statistics and higher algebra to solve or protect complex ciphers, while other experts focus on such esoteric topics as the effect of electromagnetic radiation on radio and satellite transmissions. To aid in this task, NSA harbors in its massive, concrete-walled basements what is probably the most sophisticated and largest...

Established in 1952 under the Secretary of Defense, NSA, like CIA, is an outgrowth of the nation's post-World War II effort to centralize, tighten and sharpen the role of U.S. intelligence in the cold war.

It is symptomatic of the extreme secrecy shrouding NSA that its director, Lieut. General Marshall S. Carter, is a nonentity even to Washington insiders. Yet, like CIA's, the agency's tentacles reach deeply into the academic community...
...written by David Kahn, a 37-year-old journalist and amateur cryptographer. It is perhaps the best and most complete account of cryptography and the security agency's role yet published. A tribute to Kahn's thoroughness-he took six years to write the book-is that NSA officials have been astounded by his knowledge of the agency's operations. "He's certainly done his homework," said one awed expert. Foggy Bottom and intelligence types, who have made the book a bestseller in Georgetown bookstores, have only one real complaint: it costs...
