Spotlight on Saigon - Vietnam. As in many other cities of the country, the sudden collapse of the war has the streets empty. The dogged struggle for individual places and houses has changed the face of war. Hours ago yet the then keying out their heavy loads. Now the individual - fighting alone set in small squads or fully: the Viet Cong came in too fast.
The American GI's and their allies have little reason to the serenity: the number of deaths, even of their own, marked a new chapter in the history of the Viet Nam war.
US Commander Westmoreland - at home known as a proponent of a hard line stance - counted around 20,000 dead enemies. But he had to take what hardly anyone suspected: that the Viet Cong would be able to break into the innermost defence front.
Protected by bulletproof vests, clear American soldiers Park, entrances and roads. Of them, no one knows what the next day will bring.

The guest at his NATO and EEC ally introduced information with a helpful gesture: Chancellor Kiesinger brought 30 Sicilian children affected by the earthquake, which had temporarily recorded in the Palazzo Quirinale Italy President Saragat.
Still popular also with political Rome tourists: a private audience with Pope Paul VI. In the Vatican, it remained private political. Chancellor Kiesinger spoke about development aid and sectarian schools. By Pope Paul VI. He accepted praise the German Ostpolitik. In the final act, the Chancellor by fellow countrymen was surrounded: the blessing of the Pope was released for all German visitors to Rome.
Napoleon suffered a fit of rage when he learned of the high renovation costs. 165 years later, swallowing the Germans - and paid. The keys to Ambassador Klaiber opened the ceremony. Top celebrities from both sides of the Rhine celebrated the old and new German Embassy in Paris.
The fine establishment existed before the strict eyes of de Gaulle. After all, the Germans had put 20 million mark in Velvet, silk and precious woods.
The Palais Beauharnais, 255 years ago built, was purchased in 1818 by Friedrich Wilhelm III., and has since served as a Prussian and German Embassy. By the new institution, the French suggest she is France most beautiful collection in the style of the Empire.
The summer Olympics To find Instead of already - on the catwalk of Paris Haute Couture. Jacques Esterel stunned his clientele with the "look of Mexico 68".
The detachable overskirt promises more than he thinks: the shorts keep their minimum length.
The most common vocabulary at Jacques Esterel were Sombrero, Cape and poncho. For Paris and the rest of the fashion world is the motto of this spring: short, light, airy, elated. Increased virus A 2 - by physicians wanted and feared by the population - keyword of the laity for much of what throws him in the foggy, humid season from the traffic.
In Japan, trying to protect themselves against the risks of infection for years. In the Federal Republic you remembered only the flu, as many classrooms remained empty, factories have closed and the number of deaths in the amount soared.
We asked the head of the international headquarters of influenza, Professor Lippelt, for an analysis of the current situation.
"The colds have no temperature Very much frequently at all while the real flu is characterized by a clear rise in temperature. Severe headaches in the foreground are a real flu. Old people are particularly at risk or even school children. All those who have A lot of public transport, are especially exposed to so the possibility of contagion still belong to the endangered professions. Unfortunately, we have up to now no specific treatments against the real flu. -The vaccination should be carried out before the start of winter. We maintain to draw attention in the September/October on the importance of vaccination. It gives us protection for 1 year and I would like to reassure anxious, does not vaccination reactions unless they have the small peak, that is start no trouble through vaccination."

Sport is only 16 and already a world champion. But their Schulmappe also grabs her every morning like millions Soviet schoolgirl. A day in the life of Jelena Karpuchina: our Soviet colleagues called this short portrait of a girl, who divided his day between school and dance, between race and class work.
Jelena first modeled their dance stages in tone. Then rehearses the champion before the most recent offspring. Moscow State coach Maria Vartanovna is proud of its best student. They developed the program with Yelena already for the next World Championships in artistic gymnastics.
Still, Jelena has stage fright every time if she dances her vaunted freestyle to mature on international competitions in Moscow. Their most faithful admirer always is: grandmother Ivanova not doubting her victory.
Moscow's gymnastics enthusiasts are convinced: Jelena remains for the time being undefeated in this young sport discipline.
In the sold out Hall of Germany, 18 riders to the "price of Germany" apply. In the Berlin riding and jumping tournament most valuable testing, 2,500 mark, a Cup, and the applause from 10,000 visitors have beckoning the winner. One of the Favorites - Nelson Pessoa from Brazil.
12 heavy obstacles on the 440-metre course German riders lay the way to money and fame. Even Alwin Schockemöhle, the most successful German participant in Berlin, will fail. In the first two rounds, only two riders bring their horses flawlessly over the course. In the decisive playoff, Harvey Smith from England chases in 36.2 seconds around the railway. He breaks a barrier and receives 4 points of failure.
Time or number of defects must beat Graziano Mancinelli, the insider's tip from Italy.
Same error number, it improves the time of his rival by one second. The winner and last year's winner Mancinelli belongs today among the Favorites from Mexico.
