Focus Berlin is our present. In an instant, because the whole world of full unrest looks to Berlin, Mayor Brandt returned from his long trip.
For four weeks he has spoken in two continents with leading politicians over the Berlin, to arouse sympathy for the vulnerable situation of the city among the peoples of America and Asia. Original tone Mayor Brandt: "I believe that the two goals that were set this trip, are in this respect reached as it is managed, to spread awareness about Berlin and to gain additional moral support for our city."
Shortly before the man who conjured up the Berlin, had entered German soil: Nikita Chruschtschow, Prime Minister of the Soviet Union.
Khrushchev, who was supple and negotiate in some respects, refined - as before in Leipzig - now also on a mass rally in the East Berlin Stalinallee its position on the subject of Berlin.

Original tone Khrushchev: "in Berlin an order must be created which complies with the conditions of peace, the peace efforts of the Berliners and Berlin. Dear comrades, we have presented our proposals. We wait for the response."
A highlight of the political activity of the Soviet Ministerpräsidentenwurde the encounter with the SPD Chairman Erich Ollenhauer. The spectacular meeting which was preceded by an invitation of Khrushchev's took place on exterritorialem area in East Berlin in the Soviet Embassy under den Linden. The topics of the talks were: the peace treaty, Berlin and the preservation of peace in Europe.
Ollenhauer, only German interlocutor of this encounter, expressed the conviction that there could be a way to negotiate later.

While. Tito spent several days hunting along the Blue Nile, his wife Jovanka visited the construction site of a large power plant close to the capital city of Addis Abeba.
Later in a communiqué Emperor Haile Selassie and his guest from Yugoslavia their conviction confirmed, to settle political disputes through personal contact. Marshal Tito, the wanderer between East and West, also campaigned for his idea of a third force.
Crises and uncertainty can be many people looking for a way out. Here in Melbourne, Australia, Billy Graham, American evangelist, everywhere calling the masses in the world in his own way to religious contemplation. According to his words, everything that could yet save our civilization, is contained in the Holy Scriptures.

Japanese sketches that is Tokyo, a city of contrasts, where we now a little want to run around. Often called the capital of the Japanese island of the "West of the East" and as this term, is very Tokyo full of strange contrasts.
Toys for children and also for adults, except that in this game of hell thousands of unemployed use their support and - lose.
But close beside the traditional Japan: traditional, ancient life forms.
And bourgeois as a symbol of this coexistence of past and future, the message with law as a sensation perceived by the upcoming wedding of the son of Japanese Emperor Akihito to the daughter of parents.
From the "land of the rising sun" flew to Munich this six Japanese actresses. They came as charming ambassadors to the Japanese German film week and were greeted by German colleagues and a traditional brass band. At a reception given by the Japanese Ambassador and the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs, contact with the guests from a country of unusually sexy movies and - faces found himself quickly.

Under the leadership of "Taxus", the field's the 16-hundred metres long distance equal at a considerable pace. The two secret Favorites, the French "Royalic,"Mingo"holding back yet.
In the target curve but under Jockey Gassmann, dissolves "Makar" by "Royalic" and the rest of the field and win the race in a shiny finish a good season start for owner and horse.

Ice hockey: A bad end took the encounter at the ice hockey World Championships in Czechoslovakia Federal Republic in Sweden. The game that decided on the participation in the final round, was a prime example of unsporting hardness.
There was Herausstellungen on the running belt, but the two Russian referee abundant helpless faced the situation.
Germany lost this fight man against man 1-6. A questionable game rich in Gates, but low in sporting fairness.

Cars: The start of the auto racing season went on an airfield near Bad Kreuznach is – so to speak, to the exclusion of the public. If you had enough under the hood, could compete here with his peers - and the class differences were of a purely technical nature.
Who just wouldn't go, participated in between as a spectator. Here was the dream of many motorists in fulfillment, the street without police and frost risers.
The accident of the day sheet metal damage though, was sleepy by the young but. The only one but which lapsed at the end of the rush of speed not sat in the car, it was the official.
