We give a unified geometric approach to some theorems about primitive elements and palindromes in free groups of rank 2. The geometric treatment gives new proofs of the theorems. Dedicated to Bill Harvey on his 65th birthday.
15 The current version replaces the first version; we have corrected the statement of theorem 2.1 and added a new theorem 2.4 and included some additional references
