...ironed out, as far as the experts knew, after arduous testing under every conceivable circumstance. Last week's test was billed as the ship's first full "plugs-out" operation- meaning that the craft was to rely solely on its own power system instead of using an exterior source. The trio climbed inside the ship, hooked up their silver suits to the environmental control system (which feeds oxygen to the suits and purifies the air in the cabin), snapped their faceplates shut and waited while the suits became pressurized. At 2:50 p.m., the airtight double hatch plates...
...city landmark. But the house, which for 83 seasons had provided an echo chamber for virtually all the world's great voices, was sort of a wreck already, with no rehearsal space, some acoustical dead spots, a dusty stage that choked the singers, and a dingy exterior.

Says William Caudill: "There were 61 people involved with the job and they worked 13¾ man-years." To make sure that the acoustics would prove a ringing success, the ceiling is composed of 870 acoustical "lenses" that can be raised or lowered to tune the hall...
...there are nevertheless a number of aspects in which the building doesn't equal the ambiance of the "medieval cloister" with which the Radcliffe News Office has somewhat unfortunately compared it. While the exterior does, perhaps, evoke the "pattern of light and shadow associated with the contemplative mood of a medieval cloister," it lacks the sense of weighty mass and the play of volumes which is indispensible to the monastic mood. It is one of the few buildings which looks exactly like its cut-out mock-ups or elevation drawings...
