Entry to the Holy Land of Germany's secret capital of Munich is the starting point of a Christmas trip to the Holy land. Our regular contributor to Siegfried Sommer attended an exhibition of Nativity scenes for us: "entering the Holy Land will cost 20 pfennigs. School classes, women with shopping networks, late tourists and portly Munich pass through the gate, which leads into the twilight panorama of Bethlehem.
They know the wooden Extras, which surround the mystery of birth, been their multiplication tables, and when a shepherd or an Angel not exactly at the usual place, they have quietly: 'Aha,'s has changed nothing personal.'
'Bavarian crib, nineteenth century' g is ' wrote - 'Holy Family in Nazareth'. Untarnished and blue sky of childhood over the Jesus boy who collects just tiny chips, which planes the foster father Josef by a thumb-long beams shines. An architect in the turban is a rolled-cost estimate. Long the most walkers face the 'escape from Egypt'. Since then A lot has been escaped in the world.
Over a blind window panes Lake rowing the Carpenter with his in the bark boat into the unknown. Even the creature is scared.
There, the Tyrolean crib is already a healthier vision. Louder seasoned people ' are that and only the cattle stuff around. A Munich-based Schnauzl and even the rare Pug rush to the stable. -Allgäu cows, Indian elephant, Bavarian Oberlandler, Moorish slaves, African Palm and old German Linden are to the miracle of the wonderful hour.
The Tot with the Tropfnas'n is impressed - it is probably a light l aufgangen -: the Jesuskindlein is everywhere in the world - the international. And as he leaves the Holy Land, as he passes just two dozen ancient Cannon tubes - he Not yet realize how close the world peace and peace together are."

An American tragedy?
This report goes one of the currently most delicate points of world events - to Viet Nam. For ten years, the face of this land of turmoil and war is marked. Wiped out between Communist ambition and American Defense will, the "land of the South" increasingly sinking into chaos and anarchy. South Vietnamese soldiers and U.S. military advisers fight to the Mekong Delta, the rice-Chamber of the people without hope.
The United States face a decision without real alternative in this country. The United States does not directly intervene, fighting the Vietcong rebels is hopeless, they intervene, the war with China and the Soviet Union is inevitable. Withdraw the United States, Southeast Asia will be lost to the Communists, to neutralize, then this development is only postponed.
The South Vietnamese people are wearing brunt of this dilemma. For them, the suffering has blurred the difference between Communism and Western freedom.
The rare sight of captured Viet Cong rebels like console Americans tell little about that they continent grapple for the freedom of a half, without reaping too A lot thanks for this. Because the United States had to ally themselves with dictatorial governments, to train the South Vietnamese troops and increase the military readiness of the people.
One of American military advisers in South Vietnam, Captain Donlon, was now awarded with a medal of honor by President Johnson. However, no heroic feelings are likely to make up at the thought of South Vietnam. Because a higher responsibility forces the United States in Southeast Asia to a compromise between victory and surrender.

French grandeur - Hochexplosiv it speaks for the literary core of the French, that the latest missile test on the Levant Island Ceres combined with a Very much poetic name. A comprehensive series of tests, the missile "Berenice" had to prove.
With the help of a four-stage "Berenice", the French science wants to win data about the re-entry of missiles in the atmosphere. The climbing qualities of the rocket may be together with their name, because ultimately it seeks, yes her own hair-crested hanging under the name "Hair of Berenice" as a constellation in the sky.
The radar screens of French warships follow the contours of a large-scale sea maneuver. French Atlantic fleet exercises off the coast of Brittany. Her home port is Brest.
Still one of the largest U-Boot-Häfen of the German 20 years ago. Wehrmacht - today is the command center of the French Navy to Brest. An underground city, which is independent with their own energy supply from the outside world was built on an area of the size of the District of Paris.
In the command post - the brain of the Navy - the threads from all areas come together. Information of aerial reconnaissance are here evaluated and passed to the fleet.
The living conditions are not uncomfortable, and everything was done to prevent psychosis that may arise due to continuous one closed. The possibility of a nuclear confrontation has been included in the.
Perfection characterises the structure of this city. A quiet humanization met us only in the fire brigade, who here looks like a lovely antique.
One of the main command units of the Atlantic Pact emerged from the wreckage of a German military base in Brest. The fleet associations hang like on invisible threads, which are moved by Brest from.

Yeah, yeah, yeah and dear viewers, were that the three silliest and least important news of the week: in Holland, goats boarded a plane for a change once. They were among a delegation that flew to South America to a veterinary Congress. On the flight the goats did the same passengers otherwise like to do: they meckerten.
In Munich - occurred almost unnoticed by the public – a small revolution of dogs. With the exclusion of the nobility, the ugliest dog was chosen from among Bavaria's street dogs. The four-legged children of love could not believe himself once on a catwalk to press.
Some indefinable mixture recommended the favour of the jury. Somehow, they all had a little ugliness bug, a pretty detail-so a bulky sofa role named "Oscar" won an orphan with a lime tree as a family tree and a father probably of noble Finally, and - as you can see - was drunk.
In London the Beatles do it already, to entertain the public with their suffering. A surprisingly well combed Ringo Starr left the hospital these days after overcoming almond operation. While musical contemporaries are happy that Ringo a while have to forgo the singing, the young artist left the battlefield in a modest car, he completely filled. The tonsils are not for sale By the way. You should be pretty tattered by sharp vocal acrobatics.
