Met Opera Peter Grimes foggy finale disrupted by fog prop
The season premiere of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes at the Metropolitan Opera in New York nearly finished when a malfunctioning prop fogged the stage during Jon Vickers's final soliloquy. Audience reaction ranged from laughter to coughing as fog seeped from the wings, conductor Colin Davis led on, and an assistant manager ordered air conditioning to clear the theater.

Treaty ratified after long Senate delay
The Senate voted 83 to 15 to approve a nuclear nonproliferation treaty after an eight month delay. President Johnson had sent the pact to Congress last July and President Nixon resubmitted after taking office. Senator J W Fulbright led the floor fight, defeating amendments as the treaty passed with its two main provisions: ban on supplying atomic arms to nonowners and urging have-not nations not to acquire them.
