A closer look at Berlin these days. Impressions at the turn of the year. With hard to extreme sharpness, the vocabulary of a nearly forgotten cold war sounds from East Berlin. Propaganda Chief of the SED Albert North at a press conference: "the laws of emergency dictatorship were deposed by the order of the day? Is about the policy of exclusive representation arrogance of this permanent cold war against the GDR have been abandoned? The answer to all of these questions is "no".
In the consciousness of the West Berlin, there were holidays of the locked walls - without seeing the relatives of over - a feast without letters like 1 1/2 years. Only the hardness point - for urgent family matters - was opened. Nearly 60,000 West Berlin received the stamp to the relatives visit here last year.
Despite the wide-ranging efforts to keep the economy humming West Berlin, the number of drawn to was less than the number of workers wandering off. A handicap for the city remains their ageing. Before the war were only 9 percent of their residents over 65 years - today, there are over 20 percent.
The wishes and hopes of the West Berlin are unchanged also at the beginning of 1968.
"So many wishes are, I think, because you can not even one, there are so many. Zone free, that we can go back in, out and in, it would be nice. Less reason to demonstrate. Oh, I hope that the students will finally be able to assert their demands. Peace and quiet. In freedom for all over Germany. "Well and of course the usual stuff, that man over there can and over may, wall and all that."

Details of the war in Viet Nam was the central theme of a nightly conversation between Lyndon B. Johnson and Paul VI. In the rooms of his private library, the Pope granted a private audience the American President. The order of the Holy Father, to send a Vatican delegation to improve the inhumane fate of American prisoners of war in Hanoi is part of the Church, to find ways to a peaceful solution. Johnson could not accept the suggestions of the Pope - extended ceasefire until February and the end of the bombing raids on North Vietnam -.
The world does not follow the ancient custom to end the wars, all 4 years in favor of sporting competition in our days. Without regard to the military conflicts, the flame for the games is lit in 1968 on Mount Olympus. From here she must be brought more than 6,000 km away the location of the Winter Olympics to Grenoble. Transferred in two miners lamps the Olympic flame first travels by plane.
