President Pusey said at a press conference last week that the University has "looked everywhere" for funds to finance the Widener expansion, but without success. He said large foundations have so far refused to commit funds for the support of University libraries...
...Roman Emperor Nero with his mistress, Poppea, an affair held in dubious check by Nero's Stoic mentor Seneca. Poppea, slinkily played in Dallas by Patrice Munsel in a white gown slit to the hip, finally turns Nero's golden-curled head, and he orders Seneca to commit suicide. Meanwhile, Nero's wife Octavia and Poppea's husband Ottone plot an assassination. Ottone, clad in his own mistress' dress, sneaks into Poppea's room but is discovered.

If the reappraisal indicates anything less than Chinese hegemony following a Vietcong victory, the test of whether U.S. troops continue fighting for Saigon should be whether they can be withdrawn by the end of 1965, beginning on a regular schedule at the end of this year. This might open the field to the Vietcong...
