...Hall are the work of Cyril M. Harris of New York, a professor of architecture and electrical engineering at Columbia University. He is already responsible for the excellent sonics at the Metropolitan Opera and the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. By now it is only fair to hail Harris as an acoustics virtuoso. Harris' secret, if it can be called that, is to stick as closely as possible to classic European models like Vienna's Grosser Musikvereinssaal.

His first stop was Phoenix, Ariz., where his audience of 13,000 at a Republican fund raiser was mostly friendly. But shouts of "Hail to the thief!" and rhythmic clapping from a handful of hecklers in the balcony rattled Nixon. His voice quavered, his hands tightly gripped the flower-bedecked lectern, and he occasionally mispronounced words.
