Another major attraction
was the swept- roofed Soviet
Pavilion, linked • to the U. S.
exhibit by the Cosmos Bridge
Although the $12 - million
Soviet Pavilion was tho big-,
gest and most costly' of the 63
foreign exhibit*, the 20-story
U. S. dome was outdrawing It.
The U, S. Pavilidn cost -$9.3
million.
Some of those viewing the
U. S. Pavilion had strong
opinions about its contents, but
all seemed to agree that the
design was spectacular and
worthy of the United States.
Comment on the interior
ranged from “magnificent" to
"horrible ” ----—^—■
The theme of the U. S. Pa-
vilion fs “Creative America”
imO'TtS'‘“mMbf^TxhTbTT7rke'|“
that of the Soviet Union, is de-
voted to space accomplish-
ments. The space exhibit in-
ciudes capsules actually u»ad
in the U. S. manned space pro-
gram. and a section called
•'Destination Moon” in which
the public 'can see a simulated
moon surface and replicas of
space vehicle* to ba used in
U. S. moon flights.
There also were section* of
“American painting n o w,”
■showing the works of Andy
Warhol’ and other pop ajtistn;
on “The American Cinema,"
with scenes from top motion
pictures produced in the UnR-
ed States and sonje of the •
props used; and on "“The
American Spirit." The last in-
cludes folk art and American
handicraft and shows a varie--
ty of item* from patchwork
quilts to mousetraps to El via
Presley's guitar.
The exhibits are located on
platfonn? insde the transpar-
ent bubble, designed by U S.
architect R. Buckminster Full-
er. One of the main features
is the central escalator, one of
the longest in the world, lead-
ing to the apace exhibit on the
top level.
Sob>e of the'viewers express-
ed efts appointment' at what they
called the trivial content of the
exhibit. Others said they liked
the absence of boasting and
the informal touch,
The Montreal Gazette’s expo
sjieactallst, Billy Ranty, ex-
pressed surprise at the way
people were drawn to the U. S.
Pavilion, ’
"This Is not to1 suggest,” he
sakt, “that the U. S. Pavilion
does not deserve a visit—It
does, indeed—hut somehow the
proximity, of the United States,
the constant influence of things
American on Canada would
have delayed, the U. S. Pa^
vlUon yisit. one would think ■
The contrary deems Co be true."
