Perhaps some of you will understand Buckminster Fuller's lead article, "Mistake Mystique," but it mystified me. Phrases like "omni-accommodative generalized principles" or "the progressive complex of cosmic episodes of scenario universe" throw me into the same haze as pretentious science-fiction. When, after the geodesic rhetoric, we're told of synergetics and the positive value of mistakes, you may feel like adding the Robert Louis Stevenson-ism: "the world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we all should be as happy as kings...

In another basement lab two scientists tinker with an elaborate device that, when finished, will heat molecules so their spectra at temperatures above 2500 degrees Centigrade (4500 Fahrenheit) can be observed. At that temperature even iron becomes a vapor, as it is in stars...
...early musical efforts fused the sound of Latin America, Afro-Cuba and basic blues rhythm into a style that dazzled flower-powered San Francisco in 1967 at the debut of his band.

Their drums hammered out traditional rock while their guitars varied between folk, jazz and Jimi Hendrix. Santana made songs like "Jingo,"Evil Ways," "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" famous after winning spectacular acclaim for their appearance at Woodstock...
...problem we're faced with is we're given a world, which we're not terribly responsible for ourselves, and we're trying to understand it. We hit these particles against each other, or, in the beginning [of particle physics], we just looked at the cosmic rays as they came at us. The particles hit particles and strange particles come out. These particles are totally unnecessary--you can't make toothpaste out of them...
