Description
United States Science Pavilion , Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair) . “Beneath five arching towers representing man’s constant striving for knowledge for the universe will be presented the most significant scientific display ever assembled…It is the United States Government’s Science Exhibit , a $9,000,000 program of participation including a giant six-building pavilion and unique exhibits dedicated to showing the peaceful uses of science . Stepping out of the textbook into the techniques of showmanship will be the authentic story of the tremendous break-throughs in the barriers which now stand between man and his conquering of space , his control of weather , disease , and over-population of the world.” (Washington State Dept . of Commerce and Economic Development . Seattle World's Fair preview . Seattle : Acme Publications , 1961 , n.p.)
