What Fuller sees excites him with the vision of man's potentialities, and he has made it his mission to help man to realize them. Says he: "Man knows so much and does so little." Last week this crackpot stepped off the plane in London, spouting words the minute his feet touched ground, and headed for a dinner in his honor at the Royal Institute of British Architects.
