Montreal Expo’67 Dome Sequence:
"Bucky said to Anne at Montreal, ‘In addition to the geodesic dome which I have designed here to demonstrate the doing-so-much-more-with-less for humanity that world man will realize intuitively that his salvation and physical success on the Spaceship Earth is to be gained primarily by such a design revolution and not by political revolution, I have inadvertently brought about the production and installation of our own Taj as pure fallout of my love for you.’ Anne knew that it was so. The Expo Taj is powerful and the beauty goes far beyond the sum of its physical parts.
“Anne and Bucky left the dome and flew from Montreal to New York City. Bucky was to leave her with her family on their old home on Long Island. On the way from Kennedy Airport to New York City, the taxi in which they were riding skidded at high speed in the rain and crashed against a bridge abutment and bounced across the highway. Neither the taxicab driver nor Bucky were hurt, but Anne was very greatly damaged. She had two hemmor-hages in the brain. After a magnificently successful operation she recovered completely.”
