[MD] Art of Value

[MarshaV]

Greetings Dan,

Interesting...  I must be much more careful.  It seems I just 
bypassed that which I didn't agree with.  Very sloppy on my 
part.  But it did sound like Humphrey was writing of preintellectual 
experience.  And I think Brok's sentence, "I'm more comfortable with 
ambiguity these days.", was pretty smart.
