Under the Loupe suppressed pride, anxious anticipation or collected Ernst: a wide range of emotions on the faces of the children, doing the step into a new world each year. Anticipation among those for the new phase of life means a step into the world at all.
Germany's Thalidomide children. Victims of the worst drug disaster in the history of medicine. One hundred of them are prepared in the State Hamburg "Griffin school" on their training. Motion therapy, which makes the mangled limbs partially functional. Through newly constructed, expensive prostheses, which should facilitate the opening of the door to the outside world. Over their previous costs, two parents told us: "I can not exactly say it to you, but I guess 15 to 20,000 mark."
"Yes, our costs were previously Very much low, because our health insurance has played the largest part."
Most health insurances but deny a contribution, because the physical defects are congenital. Donations and Government grants is not sufficient for the medical care of a total of 4,000 Thalidomide children. But only a timely treatment will decide about their connection to the environment. For parents, the question arises now: special or normal school: "I would never send my child to a public school. I was even teacher and don't want my Martina feels somehow reset."
"That depends on the development of our child. We would like to send them on normal school."
"We would Very much like to send our son in a normal school, but we follow the advice of the experts."
For schools of the Thalidomide children it will prove, whether in addition to the physical was also the psychological preparation; because the difficulties are big, as the Director of the "Griffin school" assured us: "the disabled child feels initially inferior to themselves, while the healthy classmates initially against the abnormal lock down. Basically you should aim at a normal school, because the defensive attitude of the classmate is Very much quickly removed by appropriate awareness."
So it is ultimately not interested parties, whether Thalidomide children remain outsiders of society or not.

An increasingly friendlier treatment learns information Congo State founder Patrice Lumumba, the Prime Minister murdered six years ago, after his death. His successor to Mobutu, provisionally last strongman in the Congo, a European ceremony unfolded on the sixth anniversary of death of Patrice Lumumba to his people the importance sinse national hero to bring.
Awareness of history and pride in military traditions drove Paris to thousands on the road as Alphonse juin, last, carried Marshal of France to the grave. The 5th Republic, de Gaulle had mobilised all pomp to bury a war hero and military leader as it commanded the Gloire de la France.
In the disabled-DOM, Charles de Gaulle forgave the former war comrades that he had dropped him in the conflict in Algeria.
Bonn was an intermediate stop on the tour that led Sen. Robert Kennedy in several European capitals. Acted for a Flash Conference with Chancellor Kiesinger of the Senator in a political space: the experienced grip in the hair-crested and the radiant smile of Kennedy convinced the ambitious politician that he successfully walked in the footsteps of his brother.
In the Foreign Ministry, the controversial Soviet American Missile Treaty was focus of discussions between the Senator from New York and Foreign Minister Brandt.
The Brussels motor show was this time on their different filled wallets of its visitors. The polished PS offer ranged up to 20 PS weak load duck on wheels, from the open motor carriage with basket sitting up to the 30,000 mark Renner from 300 horse strong chrome cars.
A French company showed understanding for the payment-weak guests from the former country of the economic miracle: she offered the Germans a car, free of superfluous ingredients. Current measures, "We will go hand in hand someday, black and white, someday" - ecstatic finale on a German stage, worship, against entrance fee, preached from 1927 as a show staged by a Broadway Ensemble: trumpets of the Lord.
"We To want us all to amuse today evening just a bit, have fun in the name of the Lord," you promised initially. The Hamburg audience but was fascinated, intrigued by a divine service, which lives not the religious, but of the theatrical.

Sport its inventors call it an "emerging" sports, his critics call it a torture instrument for little trained parts of the body. The first World Championships in the Skibob were held in Bad Hofgastein.
In Austria invented and practiced the new sport quickly proved a domain of the locals: all titles fell to the Austrians.
The first place settled award the toughest seat of all Starter Willy Brenter. He became the first world champion in the Skibob downhill.
The only medal at the art Ice Skating Championships in Ljubljana there were for the West German pair skater. With a long spiral of death, crowned the German master pair Glockshuber/Danne his routine and was European Vice-Champion.
Ludmilla Belousowa and Oleg Protopopow were again can't be beat. Also a fall it could prevent the two-time world and Olympic champion from Innsbruck to become European champion in pair skating for the third time.
For the "prize of Germany", the elite of the European show jumping horses jumped into the Berlin Germany Hall. Only five riders had healthy survived the first two rounds with 15 serious cracks.
The Brazilian Pessoa showed one of the fastest rides and was second with a discharge.
The ride of the Italian Mancinelli became the brilliant climax of the tournament. In a record time of 34.4 seconds, he drove forward "Turvey" over the obstacles and the "price of Germany".
