It currently notes at the time the enthusiasm was boundless. Romania welcomed Richard Nixon, the first American President who had travelled since the war ended in a Communist control of the country. For the Americans the State visit of the year, which it had prepared with the perfection of an election campaign, a "historic event" for the Romanians was sober - something an "event of particular importance" that underscore its policy of national independence.
President Ceaucescu and President Nixon stressed that their meeting had no anti-Soviet accents. On bilateral area was the establishment of an American Library in Bucharest and a Romanian in New York agreed and stimulated a consular agreement on civil air transport between the two countries.
The broadcasting of Uganda played several times a day the song: "you're welcome, we rejoice". On the airfield of Kampala was Paul VI, the first Pope who visited Africa. Milton Obote, President of Uganda.
Today, almost three of the eight million people of Uganda are Catholics. But 75 years ago were burned here 22 Black Catholics their faith. The main purpose of the papal trip was to honor you. Paul VI supported the efforts of black Christians to align their church of African culture and emphasized also the right of the African peoples to autonomy. His attempt during the three-day mission trip, persuading the warring parties in Nigeria to negotiate failed. Limits are also the moral authority of a Pope.

Farewell to Alexandra died on their journey during the holidays - even before she reached the Summit of their steep career.
When her name was still Doris and she knew no one, she sang folk songs in a small hamburger restaurant - but even then with a distinctive voice. Alexandra - that was something special, a promising exception in German show business. With Udo Jürgens, she planned "Illusion", the first joint recording of the two stars. What gave Alexandra the self-confidence to be successful?
"Undisputed despite all the doubts and black hours, I sometimes have faith in myself, an artist must necessarily have."

-Sports duels of the week two men dominated the race stage at the Nürburgring before the start: Jackie Stewart and the 24-year old Belgian Jackie Ickx. The "Grand Prix of Germany" had lured a total of 13 ACEs of the formula I cars on the ring.
319 - kilometres 14 laps - that is to say before the riders. Already in the first round, the field thins out. About 300,000 viewers - more than ever - will not be disappointed. Jackie Stewart - number 7 - draws with his Matra-Ford after front.
The formula I missiles can reach a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour. But on the twisty Nurburgring track, skill and concentration is often more important than speed.
Fewer and fewer drivers can keep up at the Grand-Prix - hunting. The pace of this year's racing season, Jochen Rindt, must give up due to an ignition defect.
Now the race to the exciting wheel to wheel duel coming to a head, the Nürburgring has ever seen. Jackie Ickx slows down the last year's winner Stewart. The recent Grand Prix rider in the world goes lap and Stewart refers to the second place. Stewart remains favourite for the World Championship, however.
Battle of Athletics giants in the Stuttgart Neckarstadion arrival 2. continent America / Europe. Already at the first competition surprise Europeans. In the 400-meter hurdles Gerhard Hennige beats the American man - his greatest success after winning the silver medal in Mexico in the finish. It is no chance their opponents - Liesel Westermann, the world record from Germany, throwing 62 meters 16 - almost 15 metres more than the best American.
The Fosbury jumping goes to school. Debbie Brill from Canada creates 1 m 73. Audrey Reid from Jamaica rips at 1 m 76. The long-legged Ilona Gusenbauer from Austria WINS as always favored with 1 meter 80: the Super sprinter from the United States. Black-power trailer of Carlos WINS in 10, 2 seconds ahead of Hurd.
The superior athlete who comes from Leipzig. Karin Balzer, the world record Sprint in 13, 3 seconds over the obstacles. The Americans landing on 3rd and 4.
Once a domain of Americans--now a parade discipline of Europeans: the pole vault. Nordwig (GDR) from the GDR and Dionisi in Italy to create 5 m 20-20 inches more than their opponents. As in the continent fight in Montreal two years ago surprised the Europeans. America's athletes had not scheduled a defeat. In the freezing waters of the Isere, it was easy to remain calm even when the tropical heat of this summer. At Bourg Saint Maurice, the world's best whitewater riders fought champion honor. The 30-year-old sports wins new viewing. In Munich, canoe slalom Olympic discipline will be in Einerkajak of women Ludmillan Polesna WINS. After their success of 1963 and 67 the lost here repeated their 3rd title.
It is not chance who capsizes. But power alone is not enough to cope with the problems of the flow. Skill and boot domination characterized before all the good drivers of whitewater.
Hans Huntziker is one of the first kayakers of Switzerland. In France, but he's not coming in the top three. Alain Colombe is one of the favored French team. They are not to beat on their home track. Prior to the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic, they win the Team Championship.
Jean-Claude Pechier is the as among the kayak riders. Superior, the young Frenchman wins the World Championship.
The Germans were satisfied. Because today you'll pay them at the Munich Olympic Games the medal winners.
