Meanwhile, in the life of R. Buckminster Fuller

The whole life
  1. 1960s–1970s

    Life on the road: three time zones on his wrists

    After his global prominence from the 1960s onward, Fuller became a frequent flier lecturing across time zones: he wore three watches at once, for the time zone of his university office, of the place he would visit next, and of where he currently was. In the 1970s he was at “home” roughly 65 nights a year and spent the other 300 in hotel beds on his lecturing and consulting circuits.

  2. 1974–1983

    Second World President of Mensa International

    From 1974 to 1983 Fuller served as the second World President of Mensa International.
