five days of America his twelfth trip to America was his first as Secretary of State. Willy Brandt had prepared carefully, because the problems that are burdening the partnership. The German Eastern policy found agreement at the White House in Washington. With Johnson, Humphrey, and Rusk discussed in 5 days open and hard currency compensation for that in the Federal Republic, American troops and on the signing of the NPT. German foreign policy and a commitment against all forms of racial discrimination was the core of the talks at the UN Headquarters. From New York to Chicago.
In this city, which has long since ceded its decades-old reputation, stronghold of American crime, to Washington, there is the top management. The influence of Chicago's local artists ranges in all centers of American power. The Adlai Stevenson company Brandt had invited to a general lecture on German politics. "What I'm trying to say, ladies and gentlemen, is that, if the non-proliferation treaty is to become a symbol of hope and progress, then it should not prevent anyone from joining in the efforts for progress."
Here, Germany's interests in the field of view, which are affected by the nuclear proliferation Treaty moved Once again. Brandt knew how agreed with renowned German scientists, when he stressed that it would be a mistake to monopolize the peaceful use of the atom.
"All countries of today are potentially in the position and tomorrow will be in the position to use nuclear energy to peaceful purposes. "It would be a mistake to monopolize knowledge and progress."

the Vietcong trained hundreds of miles through the jungles of South Vietnam, in the Mekong Delta, the Vietcong accompanied Soviet cameramen. Their goal: a training camp of the Communist guerrillas - for the American bomber a village How many others. Feel women and children view the movement of the Vietcong obliged – out of conviction the one, started another out of fear of terror, for 12 years as the guerrilla war. The most basic resources proved to be the most effective: bamboo top, used for Tigerfallen in peace, shock figures, which should lure the enemy into an ambush.
It is called the Viet Cong have trained 230000 men under arms and - what is perhaps even more - psychologically, equipped with higher morale, which is missing the South Vietnamese opponents, because, so the Americans complain, every sixth soldier of the army deserted. The problem of the Viet Cong is to replenish the ranks, because its losses are large: 34000 should have fallen only in 1965.
For the children, supposedly at night school, because they need to protect on the day before the bombing, the chances of a peaceful future are down lately again. Game and technology almost ashamed it, to show it. The game with the war was little demand. At the Nuremberg toy fair, truce prevailed, the peaceful everyday life, a mirror image of the world of adults from all continents of the world dominated over 100000 articles.

Jean Balukas from New York became America's best-paid minors this week. She considered billiards wonder, swarmed by the members of renowned clubs who To want learn the seven years from the Repertoire of trick.
The billiard experts stated "Their marksmanship is surpassed only by American cowboy hero", and at a film festival in Amsterdam we found confirmed this theory.
The grotesque "Kirk Douglas" won first prize among 154 films. The Lacherfolg of this festival but - and as the best animated film award - was "Clay" by the American of Elliot Noyes.

Sport Sport Sport is one of ice sailing, you think on the Vistula Lagoon, on Baltic coast and at the Masurian Lakes. But there the directions the Warsaw was too far. They invited the winter before the gate of their city, they have created an artificial lake, waiting for freezing Frost and contributed to a winter delight that they are envied by all other major city of Europe. It fails also, so far, the ice sailors to climb the social level of the water sailors, so they feel strong in the consciousness, to be the fastest over all other winter athletes because Luge nor Bobmeister reach its top speed of ice yachts: 160 kilometers an hour.
The lovers of this sport prophesy his future through his snob appeal: he is attractive, and especially because expensive: he lures with the image to be a sport for hard men.
Europe's Waldo entertained 100000 viewers on three exciting days. International Ski flying week on the record-breaking Hill in Oberstdorf.
The conditions were favourable as rare: low slope rise and a fast Inrun, the take-off speeds allowed over 100 kilometers per hour.

The 22-year old Norwegian Lars Grini was already on the first day of talk. He jumped 147 yards. A world best performance for a good hour. The Swede Sjöberg flew one meter wide. Then, Grini tried Once again to the world record. Every smallest rise taking advantage of reaching the dream size: 150 metres. His comment: "two meters further I trust me!"
