The theme of the week the election is over. Around 35.5 million voters have answered the political courtship of parties with their ballots. On this day, the world looked to Germany. As rarely before, thronged the onlookers and clicked the closures of the cameras, as their voices gave off the old celebrities as well as the new baked political attraction and the neutral President.
Our portrait of an election night begins, as the doors close. -Hardly the first results of the counting on the official Teleprinters in Bonn were registered, since the first telephone wires of foreign correspondents started to run hot.
The SPD headquarters in Bonn. The party celebrities can be unusually keen to guard against the press. Willy Brandt only appears for a few seconds.
The journalists banging their first reports in the machines and reported the blatant joy of Erich Mendes in the face of the Stimmenzuwachses of his party. The results hike from Bonn to Wiesbaden, where an electronic brain calculates the seats within seconds.
The looming end result will lead in the Federal Parliament to the first flirt of two-Heiratslustiger.
Last concentration, the end result is calculated in Wiesbaden. It shows the loss of absolute majority for the CDU.
Leaving a field of battle, and as always well rested - Chancellor Adenauer's first comment on the following morning.
The events in Berlin are still the theme of the week. Every day, illuminating the whole dilemma of the situation abruptly in their drama and absurdity is happening in this city. Under the eyes of the baffled policeman, escape in a truck had managed an East Berlin couple. By stopping the photographer, the policeman tried in their own simple way, to prevent this escape document. The truck, which had been schwerbeschädigt break through the wall, was brought back before dawn by zone representative.

The launch of a space rocket images and reflections on the painting of our days. With mathematical precision, these marvels of technology rise up, and no one wonders about it. Here, it is an American Atlas, which is a robot in space in its Mercury capsule. That this electronic screws man can breathe and perspire, speaks for the seeming omnipotence of man.
But the memory of missile success pales given the voracity of the natural disasters. With 280 kilometres per hour, the hurricane "Carla" against the coasts of Texas and Louisiana threw himself, and no human technology could prevent that these homes as houses collapsed. the trail of destruction is 800 km wide. Helpless and powerless the survivors faced the destruction. But almost as the disaster despite images captivated pull us again, when as here - of the French relay team "Patrouille de France" - the amazing skill of the people is demonstrated, to dominate the air space.
The modern engineers have done it that hunt pilot with over 1000 kilometers per hour in the sky. But who could blame the people, if he believes that the Earth and universe revolves around him!
Powerless, the inhabitants in Central Japan expect the cyclone "Nancy". Not exactly gentle force, police need to evacuate the population of the endangered areas.
It is almost as if these people To want believe, that such natural phenomena are unstoppable. 143 fatalities were a bitter rebuttal, and only thanks to the advanced meteorology, hundreds of thousands survived the disaster in emergency quarters. That technical progress has forces of nature in the barriers, no justification is unconditional faith in him. Until 1968 a huge Dyke and lock system to be completed in Holland the estuary "Harrinvliet". With ' his help will lead each year with the winter ice masses, the Rhine and the Meuse, regulated.
But the many millions who are employed here have must be applied already in other places of the Earth, so ancient plagues such as the drought to become, in Tunisia, farmers shoulder their medieval devices to move against the desert field. A narrow trough full of water means here all the treasures of this earth. Lifebloom grows out of dead Earth with him.
Hard to imagine, what from the desert that millions of dollars could make, which are useless fizzles as this latest rocket launch at Cape Canaveral. The sports report, the German gymnast Günter Jakoby was the big surprise of the turn laenderkampfes Germany/Japan in Dortmund. On the pommel horse, with which the Germans are usually at loggerheads, the 24 year-old Oppau with idiosyncratic elegance and security erturnte is a single victory.
As the best German in the fight against the world's best gymnast nation, Günter Lyhs won second place. The muscular, but handicapped by its small body size Westphalian with balanced and difficult exercises were impressed by the rings.
The Tokyo student Takashi Mitsukuri was the best of the sons of Nippon's. Last but not least thanks to this Reckübung, which is one of the best in the world, he had his victory.
In addition, this team was by no means the best of Japan. You can imagine the high level of the far Eastern Island Empire vibrates because as is recommended Mitsukuri with a double somersault as disposals.
