Some 30 professors at Wittenberg University wore white armbands at the school’s graduation ceremony. The target of the protest was John E. McLaughlin, the CIA’s deputy director and a 1964 graduate of Wittenberg. “The protesting professors … contend that allowing Mr. McLaughlin to speak is essentially an endorsement of the C.I.A.”

"The Agency's leadership recognized that the CIA did not, and could not, compete for IT innovation and talent with the same speed and agility that those in the commercial marketplace, whose businesses are driven by 'Internet time' and profit, could." Thus, In-Q-Tel.

Clark comment: Yardley headed MI8 during World War I and the famous U.S. Black Chamber until 1929 when that entity was dismantled by order of Secretary of State Stimson. For a first-rate biography of Yardley, see David Kahn, The Reader of Gentlemen's Mail: Herbert Yardley and the Birth of American Intelligence (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2004).

Surveillant 2.4 sees The American Black Chamber as "worthy of being placed back in print.... Some have suggested that this work contains exaggerations and inaccuracies, but they are quite minor." For Pforzheimer, the "book's importance ... cannot be denied."

According to Peake, AIJ 15.1/88, "[n]o book written since has revealed as many technical secrets as Yardley's did." Constantinides reminds us that one of the consequences of the publication of this book was "the passage of the law in 1933 known popularly as the Yardley Law protecting cryptologic matters."

See David Kahn, "The Annotated The American Black Chamber," Cryptologia 9, no. 1 (Jan. 1985), 1-37. Lowenthal views this article as an "[i]mportant corrective to Yardley..., based on notations by ... William F. Friedman." See also Louis Kruh, "Who Wrote The American Black Chamber?" Cryptologia 2, no. 3 (1978), 130-133.

Petersen identifies The Chinese Black Chamber as the author's "manuscript on [his] 1938-40 service to Chiang Kai-shek, hidden for 40 years." For Sexton, this book "furnishes insight into the author's character and the little-known wartime Chinese cryptographic service."
