...made Adam out of clay; it now became a matter of intersecting planes, of wires springing through space, and airy conjunctions of industrial materials-sheet metal, plywood, Celluloid, Bakelite.

A bright, diminutive 35-year-old ex-newspaperwoman named Hannah Dorner, who affectionately calls ICCASP members "glamor pusses," handled most of its promotion stunts with a hardheaded competency in Manhattan's Astor Hotel, overlooking Broadway.
