After this return visit, it seems clear that when the map of Television Land is drawn, the eight-room Loud ranch house will be as much a landmark " as the Cleaver family's two-story white colonial. Just as the homogenized family sitcoms of the '50s became emblems of that "decade, the Loud family's home movies may be the veristic vision of the polarized family of the '70s.

But England, as usual, has the answer. Its name is Ragdale Hall. A gracious old country manor in the midst of the rolling Leicestershire hunt country, it exists...
...Fuller, who never formally studied architecture, a gold medal for his contributions to the field. In the early 1930s he produced the three-wheeled Dymaxion automobile, which attained 120-m.p.h. speeds using a standard 90-h.p. engine. The car was never manufactured commercially. After that, he invented the Dymaxion map, the first to show continents on a flat surface without distortion...
