More predictably, a Mondale aide complained: "Hart knows that a talk about the old arrangements is taken by everybody as code for the AFL-CIO leadership. It's like waving a red flag in front of them." The two campaign chiefs - Henkel for Hart, Rob ert Beckel for Mondale- held private conversations in search of a truce...

Such amateur experience added up to a general recognition that to draw, to reconstitute a motif as a code of lines and tonal patches, is to think, and that such thought forms the root of all visual literacy.
