Olivier Schmidt began publishing a newsletter on intelligence and
parapolitics in 1980. First it was called "Parapolitics," but after 53
four-page issues the name was changed to "Intelligence/Parapolitics" in
1984, which appeared monthly. In 1988 the 106th issue began as an expensive
fortnightly under the name "Intelligence Newsletter," published by Maurice
Botbol. Schmidt was the editor until 1994, when he split from Botbol. Now
there are two publications: Botbol has a new editor, while Schmidt and his
associates use the name "Intelligence" and distribute it via e-mail.
The content and production quality of these newsletters have improved
dramatically with each name change. They remain geared to an exclusive
audience -- the intelligence analysts, international-relations news hounds,
and parapolitics watchers of all nations. Each issue of IN, for example, is
eight dense pages, consisting of various short items of current interest,
perhaps four to a page. These are usually presented under the name of the
country. Many items are plucked from the press in various countries, but
the newsletter also delights in a fair number of exclusive leaks. It's
ideal for the lazy analyst who needs to impress his boss, but doesn't want
to peruse hundreds of publications in a dozen languages every two weeks.
