...other two works on the program were Hayden's D major quartet, Opus 20, No. 4, and Beethoven's F minor quartet, Opus 95. The performance of the Beethoven was occasionally uncoordinated, rarely clear, and never balanced. Haydn, as Temianka remarked, wrote for the diletanti of the local aristocracy, and in fact, the performance sounded quite dilettantish: the meters of the first and third movements were ambiguous and the 'cello muddy. But in the slow movement, Haydn dispensed with any melodrama or surprises. While the movement's great serene flow, like the cadence of a sonnet, revealed no secrets...
Smiling Through Millions. In 1907 Hayden was elected sheriff of Maricopa County. Phoenix was then a raw town of 10,000, its unpaved streets lined with saloons, gambling halls and brothels. Among Sheriff Hayden's duties was one to enforce an ordinance requiring Indians from the Maricopa Reservation to wear pants, not breechclouts, while in town. Once, according to a story Hayden likes to tell, a group of churchwomen complained to him that an old Indian chief outside town had three wives; they demanded that the sheriff do something about it.

Several Democratic leaders favored it; Hayden was against it. Taking a long puff on his cigar, he growled: "I don't like that goddam bill." It died shortly thereafter...
Arizona Refuge. The orgy of superstition was not peculiar to Asia. Even sophisticated New York had its worriers, some of whom called the Hayden Planetarium for reassurance. In Southern California, western capital of cockeyed cults, local astrologers did their best business in years. Like their Indian colleagues, they predicted natural and unnatural disasters. One woman repaired to a vacant lot and pitched a tent furnished with a time capsule containing, among other necessities, a ten-dollar bill. A group from Santa Cruz fled to the Arizona mountain hamlet of Cleator, sure they had chosen one of the twelve places...
