...ammoniac fumes. To prepare the quadruped idols for the worshiping throng, handlers laved them in exotic ceremonies.

...swarm of landscape gardeners and foresters came in, built an artificial lake to highlight the building. To adorn the setting Sculptor Noguchi chiseled a brooding group of druidical forms, which President Wilde likes but frankly calls "a puzzlement."
