...members of the Yale-Vassar Group also voiced their disappointment yesterday. Eve Katz, assistant professor of French at Yale, and executive secretary of the group, said yesterday, "It is comforting to know that this does not mean the end of an undergraduate women's college at Yale, but it is a regrettable way to start...
...eve of a trip to Washington to report to President Johnson on the war's progress, General William C. Westmoreland said last week that he "is more encouraged than at any time since I arrived here" nearly four years ago.

Now Seferis provides his own answer in his Collected Poems.
