I suppose a lot of "great men" are well known because they self promote. I have a lot less respect for Fuller after I read how he stole the "transegrity" idea from one of his students. "Bucky's warm and uplifting letter arrived about six months after I first showed him my small sculpture. In that it was dated three days before Christmas, I suppose he was in a festive, generous, mood. A year later, January 1951 he published a picture of the structure in Architectural Forum magazine and, surprisingly, I was not mentioned. When I posed the question some years later why he accredited me, as he said, in his public lectures and never in print, he replied, "Ken, old man, you can afford to remain anonymous for a while."" http://www.grunch.net/snelson/rmoto.html http://www.grunch.net/snelson/rmoto.html
