Sports Sports Sports Sports School in Hennef on the Rhine was a meeting point for A few Olympians and Interior Minister Ernst Benda. On the eve of the "sport"hearing in Bonn, the Minister with the assets wanted to discuss the problems of German sport. That was him serious about the search for proper directions for the promotion of competitive sports, showed the Minister at the swimming competition against the Olympians.
After a gruelling duel against ex - world record holder Gerhard Hetz Ernst Benda conveyed his insights via telephone after Bonn: extension of centres of excellence, boost the number of trainers, social support of elite athletes.
It melted in Inzell. Holland fans celebrated bad weather conditions but despite their favorites before the start. Speed Skating Championships at the "alley of records". Over 500 meters, the Sprint distance of Eisschnelläufer, repeated Germany's gold medalist Erhard Keller - with dark cap - the victory. European champion but may call only the point best of four combat.
Surprisingly well, Gerd Zimmermann from Inzell - running dark hats - Kees Verkerk of Holland against the Vice-Champion. The German was ranked 5th in the four-way battle.
But the Dutch must dampen their victory celebration. Dag of Fornäs, 24 Norway - white sweater - taken over 1,500 of the Sweden Claeshorn, fought for the Championship. With half a point advantage, he beats Holland favorite.

This mass escape holiday today still no problem parking on the water – of citizens seeking to the boat. The hobby sailors on the 9th German boat show in Hamburg found everything that fulfills the dream of the own planks simple kayak up to the luxury ocean-going yacht.
500 companies from 22 countries advertise on the biggest boot fair of the continent to the interest and the money of the customers. The trend to motor-boat. Wood is used less and less in the boat construction, plastic, steel and aluminum are preferred because they are more robust and easier to maintain.
The attractions of the exhibition: the camping boat with retractable wheels, about 5 meters long and behind every car to hang out - and the most expensive boat, an American Cruiser for 289,000 mark. The "floating comfort bungalow" found its buyers already on the first day. But pessimists predict for years: in German waters - no room for big boats.

This policy theme of the week: violence the surveillance methods of German weapon arsenals are the talk of the day - triggered by a crime that is unique in the history of the German Bundeswehr. The attack on the munitions depot of the second parachute unit near the town of Lebach was here. Three dead and two injured have alarmed the public. Defense Minister Gerhard Schröder will have to deal now with calls for reform for the safety of Bundeswehr depots.
While the last honor has been the victims, one of the largest Manhunt the post-war is already running. All active and former soldiers are systematically checked. 60,000 mark reward were suspended for remarks to the arrest of the offender. The reconstruction of the robbery showed - up rules were not properly respected.
The public moves now only a question: Which one motives led to the drama of Lebach?
Black flag - in the CSSR of the new symbol of non-violent resistance to political ambition and military force. Thousands gave the 21 - year-old philosophy student Jan Palach, who themselves had burnt in protest against the Soviet invasion, the last escort. Everywhere in the Windows of Prague, candles burned him honor. Jan Palach - said the Rector of the Charles University - had died because he loved his country, the truth, freedom and democracy.
The death of Jan evening has strengthened the solidarity of the Czechoslovak population more than any political action. Their concern was a vote against violence.
French radical students and students preach revolution - not reform again. The Rectorate of the University of Paris was the first target of their argument with the violence after the barricade fighting of last year. To destroy the passions, it says on one of the bedaubed paintings, is a creative joy. Respect works of art - part of bourgeois ideology. Happy the world will be only, so my her, when the last cardinal with the entrails of the last statesman is hung.
Tokyo's State University, the Todai, experienced a weekend of violence. Under the White Helmets, the militant leftist students of Japan fought against Tokyo riot police.
Japanese cameramen filmed this study of an unprecedented debate. As the "Battle of Todai" she will enter, as historians believe, in the history.
The students had built a University building from their stronghold. To raise the 700 students, Tokyo Police Chief eventually had to mobilize the entire riot police, about 9,000 men. The students fought back with Molotov cocktails, acid bottles, and burning gasoline canisters.
For two days, the students resisted. They hoisted the flags as a sign of their unbroken will to fight like heroes of the middle ages. They retained their ruthless determination, even if that they had passed the police their wounded.
The minority student succumbed to concentrated use of riot police to the conclusion. 100 people around were injured in the riot. The damage is estimated at 16.7 million marks. Now, after the battle of Todai, Prime Minister Sato will abandon any restraint the student rebels against.
