...world sees precious little of their work, for the Moscow Union of Soviet Artists is dominated by middle-aged academicians who learned their trade in the heyday of Stalinist realism. Their ponderous paeans to Lenin and heroic bobbin tenders go into official displays such as the Venice Biennale and Expo 67. Only an occasional private exhibition affords Westerners a glimpse behind the red-tape curtain. One such view is offered by the new display of Russian painting at Manhattan's Gallery of Modern Art.

...Before you are inundated with letters from critics of the U.S. pavilion at Expo 67 [June 2], I must tell of my own delight.

Fuller was one of those seniors who had enlisted before Commencement in the Navy, where he served until 1919. One classmate described Fuller's mind as an "intellectual carnival." Fuller's own account of his life is less pedantic; "Born crosseyed. Abnormally farsighted. Corrected at four. Until then saw only large patterrns. Emphasis persisted after correction. Started young documenting against world developments, formalized as Chronofile 1917. Chronofile disclosed Newton's era world at rest supersded by Einstein...
