...museum, he can run his show as he pleases. As an aid to on-the-spot decisions, he always carries in his pocket a 14-power geologist's magnifying glass, noting that "in some ways both art and geology are a matter of trained observation." One peek into the top of some towering packing cases was all Fuller needed to decide on the monumental Chinese stone figures that now stand on the museum's sweeping front lawn.
