So once again, it was storming the stores now! The popular winter sale is in full swing. And the otherwise anonymous housewife becomes the person of contemporary history. If you discovered desirable things at every step, the choice can be really torturous. Sometimes however well-intentioned purchases is by no means find the undivided applause of the other unfortunately. The hopes and desires are the size of the deals. But some experienced the world as the will without the right idea - when buying shoes for example -.

From all over the world Karachi: Karachi 80000 Ismaelis had gathered. The members of the Islamic sect have experienced the enthronement of Prince Karim Aga Khan IV. The only 21-year-old Imam is the spiritual leader of 20 million Ismaelis.

India Bombay offered an unusual image these days. Thousands of Catholic Indians thought of St. Garcia. The Christian procession through the Hindu town moved to the fair. China: The Middle Kingdom stands to lose his old face by modern technology. Visible proof is the Yellow River, the country's largest bridge on the Hoang HO. It will connect the West with the eastern part of China.

England: London a fire broke out in a meat market Hall Middle. FR evolved into a fire, as you had not experienced it since the days of the war. To be, the flames over 100 firefighters worked to the point of total exhaustion. Two of them were killed.
The tremendous amount of energy of a hydrogen bomb could destroy only; but now, a message that is as important as the first nuclear fission comes from England and the United States. At Harwell Research Centre was the first step towards a beneficial utilization of hydrogen energy. In one experimental device, called Zeta, produced up to 200000 amp temperatures between 2 and 5 million degrees Celsius by power surges. In practice, this means that you can convert ordinary sea water in fuel in the near future.

United States: The recordings of the mighty Thor missile were released by the gatekeepers. The new missile is considered to be important contribution of the U.S. air force for the future flight into space.

Berlin: Berlin's landmark, the Brandenburg Gate, will be back as it was. And the long-missing Quadriga to again take its old place. The first horse, which by the way, weighs 20 hundredweight, was now being completed. For the total time of the reconstruction is expected about a year. Who recently left West Berlin, could fall into a demonstration train in the East of the city. You thought the Communist pioneer Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxenburg.
A took of the so-called battle groups finished the event. The Western powers protested vigorously against the arming of these civilians.

Hamburg: Visit from overseas arrived in Hamburg. Over 200 Chileans of German descent came from their South American homeland to visit their old homeland again or for the first time. At a leisurely stroll of a group very soon appeared cheerful temperament of the guests. Another group - the Chamber Choir of the University of Valparaiso - interested in the Publishing House of the newspaper "Die Welt". Here they saw the production of the new airmail issue, which proves a very flying newspaper. And then our friends showed a Chilean national dance.

Friend and helper of the latest adventure of clever and forgetful (original sound) tennis artists a delicacy for tennis enthusiasts is the duration match of the 100 games between Pancho Gonzales and Lewis Hoad professionals in Australia. This time, the sieggewohnte blonde Hoad found his master in Gonzales. The FIBT World Championships while our Atipoden paid homage to the summer game, the World Championship in the two-man at us was the sporting event of the week. Garmisch-Partenkirchen had created a festive white robes to celebrate of the day. In favourable weather, good times could be pulled out on the Olympic track. For the Bob elite of the world were the Italians the worst opponents. And all were what gave the stuff to at least threaten the Favorites. Bob "Germany I" with Rösch at the wheel drove well, but not good enough. It was enough just to the 5th place. The first courts were clearly the Italians. Zardini on "Italy II" seemed already to have beaten the defending champion Monti. But the joy was premature. Monti Alvera put everything on one card and took the title of world champion by a record.
