Charles will be able to give a better explanation but let me give you a start. Space is made up of positive and negative space. Both have shape. Positive space is where some thing is. Like a chair and table in a room. Negative space is where some thing is not like the space around the chair and table in the room.
In what way do you mean to use Ozzie and the CIA as a negative template?
Newman is a spook, given. And Spooks never ever quit.
His first book "Vietnam and JFK" fits my view and opinon much more than the second book Ozzie and the CIA.
Not trying to provide a hotspot to start the BS again, just asking because I am not sure of what You meant.

With the negative template concept that Charles is referring to one looks for what is not in the files. Especially what should be there but is not. This information can often be more illuminating than what is in the files. Hope that helps.
