Sex and perfume greet first nighters at Spoleto festival
At Gian Carlo Menotti's Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto Italy first nighters faced a disruptive odor as a stench bomb was released during Tristan and Isolde. Soprano Clara Bartolo and tenor Claude Heater performed a sensual duet while a cloud of French perfume later wafted over the audience for the second act. Bulgarian-French artist Jean Christo drew attention by wrapping two town buildings in plastic and linking them with a white rope, provoking mixed reactions from residents. The festival, a Menotti hallmark since 1958, aims to spotlight young European and American talent, drawing more than 100,000 visitors over its 18 days.

Suit Filed Against Grady High School Gym Halt Sought
A federal suit filed in Little Rock seeks to pause construction of a gymnasium at Grady High School in Lincoln County until a new desegregation plan is approved. Plaintiffs claim the district’s freedom of choice plan fails to create a unitary nonracial system and note the Negro high school lacks indoor restrooms, a cafeteria, and adequate ventilation. The gym work began June 10. In a separate note, the Supreme Court’s May 27 Gould desegregation mandate was received to push implementation of a unitary plan. In Boston, a health-in program on Boston Common aims to raise awareness of physical lethargy.
