-Policy: world youth meeting in East berlin Erich Honnecker, first husband of the GDR, welcomed in the autumn of this year 4,500 FDJ functionaries to the X. World Festival Youth Preparatory Conference. From all countries in the world, 73 representatives of Communist Socialist Youth groups in the German Democratic Republic will travel in the summer to align program and tactics.

This society: Nobel Prize for Böll Heinrich Böll: "this law would be to adopt as April in the version 4, is a very poor completion. It should come to adopt, so let not to violent actions carried away it or convince them, no. Yes, you whistle quiet."
Heinrich Böll, who often politically engaged until the misunderstanding, held back the gloss and highlight of his writer life not with criticism. Only hours before he received the Nobel Prize for literature in Stockholm was the fifth German, he had accused the Czechoslovakia, she set up their land as a culture cemetery. Heinrich Böll was awarded media award for his Gesamtwerk-for his ongoing attempt to trace the social impact of big collapse in Germany, for his contribution to the spiritual renewal of German literature.

-Art: kids classic copy the venerable Hamburger Kunsthalle opened up a new layer of visitors: children should learn through dialogue with images the painting of past centuries.
Inspired by great role models children can operate themselves. You should paint what they gesshen: not clumsy copy as a picture of their imagination. The interplay between art and its own work with brush and paint is a successful experiment to take the unnecessary respect children from "Art and Museum". Ways to open them. To find your way around our age of images.

This sport: Slashing and twists on the Berlin sports press - Festival imagined it for the first time in Germany: Thai Boxing - the ruthless counterpart of the Western fist fight in Thailand for centuries as a national sport practiced in Germany perhaps - a refresher course of the rundown German Breufsboxsport. In Bangkok, there are Thai - Boxing almost every night and that for 200 years. Earlier, even Buddhist monks took this AbhärtungsÜbung in its teaching programme. Until 1950, it was subject to Thai schools. Popular sport it is today: thousands are when two of a total 1,500 Thai box professionals sauar earn your Gage.
The traditional rule Canon knows only a few prohibitions. Spitting, biting, pulling hair are not allowed and to trample on the opponent. The hard fist - and leg battle is only conditionally suitable to the exercise. Because he is not strong but weak. 5 years, the career of a Thai box takes professionals. Then him - has remained only the force for a sedentary employment in the lowest trap.
