Memory of Thomas Mann in Zurich, in the House "to the upper Schönberg", where Goethe was once received, the Thomas-Mann-archive at his determination was passed. The study of the poet and his library are the focal point of the House, in the now thousands of manuscripts and manuscripts are evaluated. For the widow of Lichters, Mrs Katja Mann, the first prints in the exhibition space are personal recollections of her life companion, who called himself as a high school student in a letter of lyrical dramatic poet. -The first edition and some manuscript pages of large families Chronicle "Buddenbrooks", which established the Thomas Mann's early fame. The table order, which he has recorded for his novel "Lotte in Weimar". There are also many occupational studies. In the "Felix Krull" for example this template has been processed similarly to depict a Paris terrace, like this model for the shape of the slight girl Zaza. The name of the cup of Felix Krull, invented by the lights and the frills, with which this Krull to Thomas Mann's imagination to make the Marquis de Venosta. The Thomas Mann archive has become a valuable research site.

Experiments for tomorrow: Switzerland: the Swiss engineer Jean Breyfuß-Graf undertook an experiment for tomorrow. He built the prototype of a device that has the amazing ability to turn spoken words into writing. Preliminary course, you must adapt the language rhythm of yet the machine tap reasonably legible texts. Later models, however, exclude repetitions of letters according to the inventor, what would mean that each typist may be replaced by these robots.

England: Playful exercises, life of a crashed plane may depend of their successful history but in the event of an emergency, do members of the British air force in England. In a disused aircraft hangar, they mark parachute jump for catastrophic emergencies. A pilot who lands safely after a successful parachute jump on the sea surface, is taken from the already alarmed exercise search boat in reception.

France: The evacuation of the inhabitants of the French Alpine village of SAVINES was not a drill, with all their movable possessions, men, women, and children the courts of their fathers in the Valley had to leave and move into a new, modern village on the mountainside. To get space for a reservoir hydroelectric power plant, the village in the air was blown up. The Iron Cross of the Church of the village is the only remnant of the vanished village.

United States: a new model of the Atlas rocket from an underground ramp, a so-called coffin bunkers was launched for the first time. The experiment was a failure. This failure costs around 1 1/2 million dollars the US air force. Humor in the financial Office is one of those phenomena, which the taxpayers hardly suspected when he steps over the threshold of the little popular financial institution to pay his Obolus humor in the tax office. The officials of the financial Office to Freudenstadt wanted to make easier their customers the tax numbers, by trying to find some friendly pages a necessary evil. You verschuten in their spare time the Federal Republic's first tax Museum, as it were, to prove that the State already to the chagrin of the grandfathers had a captivating creature. Everywhere, where the money was, the confiscated tax pennies were acknowledged with weighty seals. Today, however, this very unprosaisch makes a punched card machine. With illustrative material from the history of taxation for 5,000 years, court officials want to put also the good taxpayers funded the State since thousands of years, a monument. They show much more humor than those harsh tax collectors who were defaulting taxpayers in Württemberg on the body just 50 years ago. And who in the face of this witty officials efforts not to laugh feel is, which should at least comfort found in the quote from the old hymn book: "give, as you give it the Lord what you owe, always like to."

With 240 HP and a horsepower of Le Mans start before 200,000 spectators 55 drivers to the Le Mans 24-hours race. Like three weeks previously at the Nürburgring, the Red Ferraris dictate the record pace. The first victim of the murderous track is the Englishman Halford on Cooper, he comes on the wet asphalt in the spin and flip over before the referee stands. Luckily he is not critically injured. The good estimates German-American team, Graf Berghe trips and Richie Ginther is pursued by bad luck, they give up when on the road running out of fuel them. Also the Spanish brothers Rodriguez are haunted by bad luck. After she had carried for hours, they lose an exhaust pipe and must be eliminated. The Le Mans race ends with a triple triumph for Ferrari. In record time, and with an average of 185 km / h. wins the Belgian American team, gene de bien/Hill.

Siena: Only a single horsepower was decisive for the victory, as the famous race of the bareback horses on hard pavement was held in the Italian Siena to the 552 times. For each city, a brave man of equestrian on a horse without horse shoeing starts, three times he must go around the market square. Temper outbursts of Mediterranean enthusiasm await the winner.

Hamburg: Impatient horse legs and the voltage of 25,000 spectators was marked by the atmosphere at the 33rd German jumping Derby in Hamburg small Bhubaneshwar. About half of the International Equestrian elite rode to the battle for the "blue riband" of the German spring sports in the dreaded course that places high demands on skill and galloping ability. The decision also this time except by the day form a little much appointed rider lucky off and some times also by bad luck tab hung like on each tournament. For Fritz Thiedemanns of now 18-year old Metedor, it was the last Flottbeker course – on a stinging, Thiedemann put no value, apparently after Meteor of the Noseband was torn. Lutz Merkel seemed to have found the right horse in fidelitas. The brave Holsteinerin this time carried him on 3rd place. The secret of the experts, the young Brazilian Nelson Pessia, proved to be nearly correct. In the Stechan this ride on the elegant "Orfeu Negro" earned him the silver loop. Pessoa took his master only in world champion Capitano Raimondo d ' Inzeo, which only the "Blue Ribbon" by Flottbek was missing from his trophy collection. On Posillipo, he managed the only faultless course in a playoff in his sixth Derby start.
