On Buckminster Fuller

When I was in college, R Buckminster Fuller had a cult-like following of young people who reveled in his alternative way of thinking — comprehensively — because it was obvious to them that was the cause of many of society's failures. I must have learned of him though newspaper and magazine articles, the Whole Earth Catalog, newsreels, etc. I heard him speak on three occasions in the 1970's: 1) Washington State University, 2) Linfield College, and 3) Lewis & Clark College, where I hosted his visit toward the end of his life.
