In 1980 that came to over one million US dollars.

At a global conference on #TheFuture that I think was held in Moscow, the Club of Rome had given their usual doom and gloom scenarios and Bucky was asked to speak. He spoke the allotted 30 minutes, continued unabated to 40 minutes, 50 minutes... At 90 minutes his road manager panicked and asked the moderator if he should stop him.
"No," the moderator replied, "Let him speak. He's wonderful!"
