The intelligence professional’s passion to collect everything possible is nicely illustrated in an NYPD report under the rubric Secret, and beneath a blacked-out box that may have contained notes from an infiltrator. The censored document declares ominously in large type: LOCAL ACTIVIST GROUP TO USE ART MURALS IN ORDER TO SPREAD PEACE MESSAGE; GROUP MAY USE DIRECT ACTION METHODS IN CONJUNCTION WITH STREET THEATRE. It describes the organization as a collective of artists dedicated to using artwork to spread the word of peace. It uses murals, banners, posters, and street theatre during its actions.
