"We will look at them as today we look at the remains of prehistoric monsters and say, 'Look, that was a capitalist!'" Recently, he added, he had been visited by Averell Harriman...

Undaunted, Marcucci embarked on a publicity campaign. He sent Fabian on a road tour, got him shots on local disk-jockey programs, and ran trade-paper teasers that screamed in big black type, "Fabian is coming...
...propound," says Shaw to Walkley, "a certain social substance, sexual attraction to wit, for dramatic distillation; and I distill it for you." Thus the main plot of Man and Superman, a sort of Love's Labour's Won with woman as the laborer and man as the winnings; a "serio-comic love chase"; a nimble game in dead earnest of Higher Hide-and-Seek...
