America had moments to offer a historic moment. It sent the three astronauts Eisele, Schirra, and Cunningham in the space ship "Apollo 7" on a 11-day journey into space - the dress rehearsal for the flight to the Moon in December.
Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and England's Prime Minister Wilson ensured a politically disappointing moment of the week on the British warship "Fearless". Wolson stubbornly demanded participation of the colored population of power in Rhodesia. Smith stuck to his No.
President Svoboda experienced a moment of relaxation with a non-political cocktail at the Prague Castle. He gave the most successful children of Czech show business opportunity to show samples of their talent. International experts say: these artists are the secret weapon of their nation.
In Munich, a cameraman of the slow motion filmed the most dramatic moment of the week. A burning sports car blocked the highway in the middle of the rush hour. There was a risk of explosion. Police and firefighters tried to save the car. The inmates got away with horror.
Time: Sunday! 9: 00! Peter and Doris. Both from a big city. Target: Friends in the neighbouring village. He seven years driving licence. No accident. He's going this route for the first time. And yet he behaves much like on his daily commute to work. Experienced! Without thinking about! It's his fault! Peter: Well, and now? Doris: Always just out! Peter: You should know, you've been here yes. That would be almost gone wrong. Recklessness? Levity? Peter has not noticed that he has acted incorrectly. Cause: Routine! A way to work. Here he acts every day automatically set correctly. All routine! How would Peter need to behave properly on his Sunday drive? It must be concentrated on each crossing. Especially if you are not familiar. Routine is good, superior driving is better!

Sports first qualification game for the World Cup between Germany and Austria in Vienna's Prater Stadium. Domestic backdrop hopes the Austrian Elf in the traditional black and white dress on the first victory against the guests gambling here in white pants for 37 years.
Great dedication fought every ball from the kick-off to. The game is hard, but only rarely unfair.
With its southern temperament, 60,000 Viennese cheer their team on. 10,000 visitors from the Federal Republic rely on Sepp Maier's responsiveness and his strong positional play.
Sent the German Elf from the defensive counters. A specimen of Netzer Müller takes up on the penalty area limit, asserts itself against two Austrians and shoots his 7th goal over the wrong responsive cock rider in his 7th International. Four minutes after half-time the decision is made. Even coach Saeed is surprised. The Austrian Eigenstiller fakes a Paß to Miller in the own goal. Goalkeeper cock rider is not blameless on the hit for the second time.
The second goal is the German buoyancy. Scorer Madhavan is always similar to his idol Uwe Seeler. Even two defenders have trouble to keep him.
A few moments before the end Müller missed the 3-0. But the victory is no longer to take the Germans. You win the first two points and maintain their reputation, never to be defeated in a World Cup qualifier.

It meets Mexico 68 to the most spectacular event in Mexico City. The 19th Olympic Games are opened in thin air. A flag, two teams - Germany provides the first sensation and that largest contingent: 545 participants. Spontaneous ovations reap the athletes of the CSSR.
The moment had to wait on the Aztekten country four years has arrived. At the University Stadium, the Olympic flag is hoisted. Enriquetta Basilio, hurdle jumping land subsidiary, inflamed dasSymbolfeuer. Now it is called: green light for 119 Nations to the great hunt for medals.
The first decision of the games fall in the 10,000 m race. Experts favour those who already run in their homeland under Mexican conditions in the field of 37 runners. Runners from the Plains have no chance; in the low-oxygen air, so they suspect, keep quite. World record holder Ron Clarke, here in 2nd place, vergablich fights for his first Olympic gold. 400 meters from the finish pulling Mamu Wolde from Ethiopia and Naftali Temu from Kenya the box away. A few meters from the finish sprints the 23 year old soldier from Kenya to the Sergeant of the guard of the Emperor of Ethiopia over and wins the first colored runner on the 10,000 meters gold medal.
In the shot put, it is enough for the Heinfried Birlenbach, weakened by an intestinal flu, from Siegen to the 8th place. World record holder Randy Matson of the United States brings superior with 20 54 metres gold medal.
The qualification best in the long jump, Heide Rosendahl from Leverkusen, disappointed in the final battle. 6 m 40-8th place. Ingrid Becker, 6 in the long jump, but won the first gold medal in the Pentathlon for Germany. With 6 meters 82, Romanian Viscopoleanu jumps new world record. He means at the same time Olympic gold.
The Super sprinter from the United States are favored in the men's 100 m race. At 50 meters, but Lennox Miller of Jamaica between Jim Hines and Charly Greene moves. Gold for the United States, silver for Jamaica.
41 skiers to Olympic honor compete in the 20 kilometre walk. Experts put the Russians so successful on this route on the first places. To see the Mexicans hope when you return to the stadium of a their forward. After 12 kilometers, the Russian results Golubnitschi, already a gold medalist in 1960 ahead of compatriot Smaga. Shortly after the entrance to the stadium but the Mexicans cheer: the 31 year-old José Pedraza overtaken Smaga. He reached the heavily spurtenden Golubnitschi. Gold and bronze for the Soviet Union, silver for Mexico. Pedraza quarrels with his defeat. Mexico, but rejoices in the first medal, which won one of his athletes.
