Sport: the biggest in the headball
The start was promising: full ranks, the German champion as guest, honoring "uns Uwe" as "Footballer of the Year". Sepp Herberger celebrated one of his favorite students.
"The Uwe Seeler was one of the greatest of football in the whole world. He is just a player, apart from his skill and his performance, who has always been a role model for others in terms of his combative commitment. Not only is he appreciated and honoured in the national team, but the whole world that has come to know him honours him and his excellent football - and more importantly - a great sportsman."
On the lawn, the jubilee racks like in its best days. But in the first half hour Mönchengladbach determines the gait in Hamburg's Volksparkstadion. Günter Netzer confidently conducts the lively attack of the German champion.
In the 6th minute, Netzer shocked the Hamburgers. His flank falls directly to Heynkes' feet: 1: 0!
The hamburgers counter powerfully. But their moves are easy to see, without wit and sophistication - no danger to the clever defense of the guests.
Playmaker Netzer is considered an expert for balls with Effet. The man with the shoe size 46 demonstrates his art in the 30th minute: his cut penalty kick even leads the Hanseatic League to measured applause.
After the 2: 0, the Borussen-Elf switches on the gentle gear. It leaves the midfield to the HSV, which thus creates new hope.
A hand play in the Borussen penalty area is a source of a boost to the experts in the ranks. Zaczyk does not miss the penalty chance: 1: 2 The HSV is pushing for compensation. Uwe Seeler shines with a drop-back. In the 70th minute, Uwe finally manages his obligates header goal. The world of Hamburg fans was fine again: draw against the German football champion.

Report: Electronics Show '70
German Radio Exhibition 1970 - this year more than ever a glimpse of an age in which humans will be surrounded by electronics. Fully wired into the future, gagged by a total information system, deprived of interpersonal communication - fear dream cultural pessimists or reality of tomorrow? In Düsseldorf, optimism still connected manufacturers and consumers. The cassette - the big business of the 1970s - even promises freedom: each buyer will be their own program director.
The Düsseldorf electronics showcase offered nothing revolutionary new. Proven has been improved or refined. Trends were emerging: colour remains in demand, manufacturers complain of production bottlenecks. Portables are becoming more and more popular, the already dead steam radio confirms its will to live as a pocket or suitcase device.
Rising prices are now a political concern. How much does the electronic rubber tree cost tomorrow? In Düsseldorf, the experts were unanimous: the tube is becoming more expensive.
"Heinrich Pumpernickel wishes you all the best, goodbye, bye-bye!"

Moments of the moment: Notes on the present
Munich's Riem Airport celebrated its Playboy premiere: the black bunny stable opened and dismissed 5 Bunnies in the night-black leather mini playbys and messengers of their master Hugh Hefner, who 16 years ago retired to teach the world that lust is better than pain. Hefner, who made germ-free sex a consumer item with the world's most successful men's magazine, invited UFA-Dabei into his flying bedroom.
Discotheque, cinema and a fell-covered lottery bed, on which the aging Playboy only beats publicity battles. His idea with marzipan sex brings him 26 million a year. 5 million contribute to German men.
We asked Hefner, who also wants to open Playboy clubs in Germany, if he wants to use the wave.
"When we started having sex 16 years ago, it was braver than it is today, where much more is allowed. We don't have the ambition to bring more sex than others. We just want to make our product better than anyone else in the world."
"Do you think the German men are ripe for your Playboy philosophy?"
"But yes, without a doubt."
Now they jump again - the canal jumpers of the Netherlands. For centuries, muscle-strong Dutch people have been challenged by the trenches that run through their country for miles. Since then, they invite you to a wet happening with a sporty impact. Two jumps were allowed. But secondly, few came. Remains to be re-energised: even in Holland, schadenfreude is the purest source of human serenity.
The Liberty freighter "Lebaron Russel Briggs" - his launch 25 years ago was recorded only by naval officers, his demise alarmed the whole world. 450 kilometres off the coast of Florida, U.S. Navy technicians opened the cargo ship's flood valves - which sank in the Atlantic with 12,500 nerve gas missiles.
After eight minutes, the freighter hit the seabed at a depth of 5,000 metres. Even after the sinking, the expert dispute remained undecided as to whether the lethal gas could one day escape from the concreted weapons and contaminate the sea.

Politics: Farewell to Lemmer
The people of Berlin said goodbye to a Berliner from Passion. Ernst Lemmer, CDU politician of the first hour, was laid to rest in the Reichstag - where he began his political career in 1922 as the youngest member of Parliament.
In 1957, Ernst Lemmer was entrusted with a government office that allowed him to translate what he had experienced and suffered into political action. After the end of the war, he had tried in vain in the other part of Germany to preserve the unity of the nation. As Minister for All-German Affairs, he tried to alleviate the plight of division. The fact that Lemmer always put man before the office earned him the affection of the people.
"I'm serening this family's hand for all of you. It will be hard at the beginning, you will sometimes be disappointed; this is inevitable in the case of the major changeover. You will find life opportunities and you will learn to criticize your ministers without fear or fear."
Ernst Lemmer had many friends, few enemies and no enemy.
