...immune to its promises, and its influence persists to this day. Sculpture had been solid since paleolithic man made his fertility dolls, indeed since God made Adam out of clay; it now became a matter of intersecting planes, of wires springing through space, and airy conjunctions of industrial materials-sheet metal, plywood, Celluloid, Bakelite. "Matter is dissolved into pure planes and 3 lines, penetrating each other, devoid of mass and transparent," wrote Author Alexander Dorner in 1931. "Thus instead of a space filled with solid mass . . . a space appears as the crisscrossing of streams of movements and streams of events...

One of the key moments in this development came in 1912, when Pablo Picasso, then 31, snipped and bent some sheet metal into the semblance of a guitar. It was a guitar that might have been lifted from one of his own cubist still lifes, an open object defined by thin planes.

Even though he signed a consent decree declining to submit the matter to the courts, Buckley characteristically could not let his differences with the SEC go by without a public riposte. He released copies of his correspondence with the SEC on the matter, plus a long question-and-answer sheet. Among other things, he contended that he could not fairly be blamed for the misleading 10-K reports because he had not bothered to read them, and had relied on the advice of others that they were accurate. Said Buckley: "I did not even know what...
