Begin with a sauna bath. Even Charlton Heston likes saunas. Install a bidet in your bathroom. Love Tom Jones. Adore Barbra Streisand. Get a dress shirt with hundreds of layers of overlapping eyelet ruffles. When you are hostess, wear evening skirts. Serve baked marrow bones. Appear in your own hair, because wigs have had it. So has LSD. Don't wear mink anywhere but to bed (sable is safe enough elsewhere), and don't ever mention Cleopatra...
...avoid being tied down by sewage pipes, the bathroom was as nearly waterless as a bathroom can be; a ten-minute "bath" was supplied from a quart of water by means of a Fuller invention called a "fog gun," and provision was made for even this water to be recollected from the air. The toilets emptied into a waterless device which mechanically packaged and stored the wastes for eventual pickup by a processing plant. Dusting was automatic, by a combination of compressed air and vacuum. Mass-produced, the house was planned to sell at about...
...experimental laboratory of the Phelps Dodge Corp., was designed to slash the cost and increase the ease of installing a bathroom by stamping it out like an automobile body. Fuller really loved this contraption. He mounted it on the back of a truck and rode it out to Long Island. Remembers an old friend: "He went tearing around town, he had some child sitting on the John, and he was throwing toilet paper all over the place."

More and more common are 51-ft. tubs with 16-in. sides (instead of 14 in.) and the demand for 6-ft. tubs is further threatening the national water table. The other trend-female emancipation-is making itself felt in a fad for twin installations. Double sinks are sprouting everywhere, enabling tooth-brushing, face splashing and shaving to take place side by side without strain on a marriage; and a design contest in Rome awarded first prize...
...turn the home inside out with new products. "I'm angry with kitchens," says he. "Once you fix them, you can't change them." Polk would like kitchen equipment to be as movable as living-room furniture, wants pool-sized bathtubs for the whole family, electronic-memory bathroom scales, home steam rooms, and laundry equipment that will wash, dry and fold a towel in seconds...
