But this pervasive influence had not yet made itself felt in 1921, the year of these loyal contributions. In fact, the Weimar, Germany Bauhaus School was only two years old. The puzzle in the enthusiastically supported portfolios is that at this time most of the contributors hadn't met each other, had not graduated from the Bauhaus, and worked in very different styles...

...William Fulbright, 69, Democratic Senator from Arkansas for 30 years, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee: "This inflation is a terrible, terrible burden. It was inflation, primarily, that caused the great mass of people to lose confidence in the Weimar Republic. We keep hearing calls for new leadership, which is what happened in Germany. It begins to sound more and more like what people want is a man on a white horse, a dictator. I'm not saying we're going to have Seven Days in May. All I'm saying is that it is possible...
