This sport: Professionals in shorts American trainer search young on the Kontinentfür the most popular national sport in the United States. Your test area: Holland, where the youth attack has always been more than in any other European country to the baseball bat. Holland tournaments for baseball pros in the primary school age are gaining more popularity from year to year.
Next generation of baseball from the pros from America took over equipment, ambition and style of fighting. Except the pants, everything on the body is tailored miniature players. Baseball in miniature: the racket is shortened, the ball softer stuffed adjusted the playing field the short legs.
Still, baseball in Holland is only a sport and leisure attraction. But some who five up, ten now knows that one can make a fortune in America as professional baseball.

This company: Sports city of tomorrow activities in Wolfsburg sporty used. The city from the retort that established her reputation as a seat of the Europe's largest automobile plant, has made a name in the sports world. The Volkswagen factory, where most of the 100,000 Wolfsburg make their money, were also launched to Wolfsburg's sporting career. We discovered the youngest city of in Germany as a sports and leisure centre, the new standards is not only for the Federal Republic.
Wolfsburg-a city in which everyone has the opportunity, in the Green, to keep fit. For example, when the traditional people run over the marathon distance. That the 390 participants only fifty on the line remained, Kamei return also, that international reviewers of their city certified the fourth place among the cleanest cities of the world. Famous athletes to train members of the 28 sports clubs. Wolfsburg sports performance centers, built and maintained with the support of the German sports aid and the industry, are considered model for a contemporary development of the high-level. Experienced trainers were hired for the next generation. Top athletes from the Federal Republic prepare here for their record and title hunts. From the workstation to the training camp, it is just a stone's throw for ambitious Wolfsburg. In the Judo performance Centre the national coach Han Ho San from Korea the German top judoka trained after the hard rules of the old Japanese judo school.
The tournament for the big award the golden beetle ' attracts annually the equestrian elite of abroad. Wolfsburg, set as a city already in the stage of crack Board on the progress, the future anticipated in the field of sport and recreation - as it seems -.

This music: Mireille in Munich first attracted only the minds now advanced it to the architectural Sehenzwürdigkeit No. 1 in Germany: the Munich Stadium with the roof of superlatives, today a popular meeting place for the stars of light entertainment which does not want to forego the flair of sporting.
For the last of the 5,000 construction workers and for the viewers of UFA doing Mireille Matthieu here presented their time hit 'Corsica'. The wide round of the stadium seems made for the powerful voice of the French vocal miracle of scoffers claim that she could drown out even the noise of a funfair. Not a sporting song it inspired. As usual, Mireille sang of love, longing and so on.

This culture: 100 days art here was no accident-just an art exhibition opened its doors. Their motto: 'questioning of reality imagery today'. One of the many answers: man, just as he is. Painted slides, creates a new realism.
The 'documenta 5' in Kassel reflects the current situation of art of the world. She lives by the opposition. Reality management is just one way of flight to the Idyll, in the area of individual mythology.
Confrontation on the road: this is the solution of the event makers, calls for each call: think again!
Criticism of the environment through accurate portrayal. Consumer idols act as still life debunking.
Confusing the number of exhibits on the fifth documenta. There is a lack of guidance. Also a seven-pound catalog for 65 mark not complete the task.
Clearly the reality of the polyester pair of John de Andrea. Shockingly clear Ed Kienholz ' castration object.
' Because I asked myself: there's such thing as in the 20th century that is possible?'
My first impression was, that here in this scene practically the brutalization of society is represented. You want to make to some attention on the reality, as it appears in part, we no longer perceive.
I think it has a strong effect on the issue of black and white. The first question that faced me, was whether such gruesome scenes are really happening, and it a pulse is unleashed in me so to speak, to do anything about it.'
Back to the 'I' type of pour I 'nature', a claim from the Switzerland - or, better food for thought provided by actions of the Mage of Beuys. Beuys exhibited this time only himself, and when he is asleep, you can reach at any time his art wisdom about monitor.
Bazon Brock played the role of the art educator in Kassel. Impressive alone the sound and the gesture.
Craft artists preach mere creation. Charlatans - promise 'Views of changing faces', the reflection of reality.
The motto of the documenta is consequential-offering object forces to think, especially since the audiences also our film camera as noteworthy.
