Worse, revelations that a mole allegedly had penetrated the supersecret British intelligence system promised to cause new problems for the Thatcher government (see following stories). As if all that were not enough, unemployment last week reached a new record of 3,190,621, or 13.4% of the work force...
...head of the NSA, a supersecret agency that uses satellites, sophisticated monitoring techniques and more employees (more than 20,000) than the CIA (some 16,000) to gather intelligence information, Inman developed considerable rapport with congressional committees. When President Reagan was looking for a CIA chief in late 1980, Inman was pushed hard by diverse Capitol Hill backers, most notably Republican Senator Barry Goldwater.

...experts readily admit that they do not offer fail-safe protection. As they toil at erecting new electronic fences around computers, astute crooks are just as busy finding ways to break them down. Research into computer security, now going on at numerous companies and universities, has become almost as supersecret as nuclear-weapons development or germ-warfare studies. Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley and at SRI International are studying a frightening flaw in the programming of many computer systems that could allow criminals who find it to get around standard security measures. For obvious reasons, the investigators...
...Sinai has above all been a strategic early-warning zone, affording precious time to react to any military moves against Israel's western border. Most of all, they are preparing to mourn the loss next year of two multibillion-dollar air force bases at Eitam and Etzion. The supersecret and formidably protected Etzion field is described by U.S. experts as "the finest tactical fighter base in the world." During the 1973 October War, Israeli Mirage interceptors scrambled from the field to win 42 aerial dogfights without a loss...
