...First Lady looked radiant and chic in a grey suit, handled herself with aplomb. After the picture-taking, she flashed a big smile at the ladies, sat down at a desk and said "Good morning." "Good morning, teacher," burbled the New York Times's Bess Furman. "That's just what I feel like," said Mamie.

The huge, 300-ton aluminum and glass lobby is suspended like a giant weight by cantilever girders from the rest of the building. There is a radical new air-conditioning system that cools like a radiant-heating plant; cold water is pumped through small pipes, thus eliminating cumbersome air ducts. And the windows are a window washer's delight. Each one is surrounded by an air-filled rubber tire. When the air is let out, the window spins on its axis for easy cleaning. After washing...
