Picturing Science

Presidents

“No one appears to be looking at speaker. A (speaker) is not looking at anyone. B inhales cigarette smoke. C manipulates something with hands. D faces toward center of table. These observations represent some point in a stream of behavior, but for our purposes this is an arbitrary beginning—a baseline or zero point from which we shall observe changes.” B is Gregory Bateson, C is Margaret Mead, and D is Ray L. Birdwhistell. From Margaret Mead and Paul Byers, The Small Conference: An Innovation in Communication (1968).
