The profile of America's perpetual losers has made the leap to the White House. A narrow majority of votes brought him in the Chair of the United States. Since that night, the course of American policy be readjusted. Is Richard Nixon the American nation zusammenführern, as he promised? The Nixon of yesteryear, the pupil of Eisenhower, was John F. Kennedy, he lost the gubernatorial election and went back to his law practice. But already in 1968 he maintained: "So you have not seen something like my comeback in this century."
The passionate anti-Communist Nixon with Adenauer and Dulles was in good company. Since the 50 years he campaigned in 56 countries for the "american way of life". He attended the French positions in the war in Indochina as Vice President and conferred with Nehru about economic aid to India. His trip to South America as a "trouble shooter", as a man who should overcome difficulties, was a success despite fierce protests.
He took his dispute with Nikita Chruschtschow, which attracted worldwide attention, to abdicate. In the Federal Republic, he described the oder-Neiße border in 1960 as unalterable, but at the same time assured until his election as President of the United States that the protection of West Berlin is essential. It will be interesting to see what Richard Nixon's face for the new President will be characteristic.

Enlarged untouched by the political shocks of recent times, strengthened by the centuries-old tradition of their army, Poland's soldiers celebrated the 25th anniversary of their people's army. The youngest officers made the loyalty oath. The Polish Army is one of 270,000 men. It is considered one of the strongest and best trained of the Warsaw Pact States. Poland's penchant for the representation rivaled with Poland's talent to the ironic self-criticism. With her song "Troubadours" glossierten "Mommy, come to my swearing in," the heroes of the nation.
Artist - so says a proverb - are the most powerful weapons of a people. So far, Poland has not yet converted.

Details of maiden voyage of the largest vessel in the world. The 312-ton tanker "Universe Ireland", the first of a series of 6 equal-sized oil tankers, entered the Irish Bantry Bay at anchor. The tanker that regularly to transport oil from Kuwait to Europe, is three times as big as the infamous "Torrey Canyon". His data: 346 meters long, 53 meters wide, about 30 kilometers per hour fast. The most surprising indication of Japanese EMS: 40 man enough to handle the ship of superlatives.
A landmark of the British Isles has become a danger to its residents. The white cliffs of Dover are threatened by decay. Rain and wind have the upper rock strata so brittle made, that you must fear the houses at the foot of the cliffs. Experts advised to a lengthy rescue operation.
70 meters above the rooftops of workers solve the loose rock strata. Huge steel nets protect them from falling rocks and guide the boulders to the slag heap. England's tourist chiefs but assure: despite the erosion, the chalk cliffs is still for centuries to welcome visitors.
One of the most important projects of Dutch research is before its completion. 10 years ago, engineers and astronomers were planning the construction of an astronomy Institute comprehensive 12 radio telescopes. In those days, carrying frame and mirror of the last of the 12 telescopes was put together. The diameter of a mirror is 75 meters. Millions of light-years far be can listen the scientist into space. With this system they hope for answer of questions after the border of space and maybe even for the existence of except human beings.
A Government Commission grappled with the problems of the Dutch agriculture. She considered one of the main concerns of the farmers, fruit and vegetable growers: the long-term conservation of agricultural products.
In a test laboratory in the food, especially fruits and vegetables are treated with x-rays, this should be solved definitively.
The first tests were positive. Potatoes lost after the bombardment with x-ray system to germinate, remaining apples without lazy.
A TV set controls the flow of the tests. Seeping effect satisfactorily the tests as in the past, Holland will distribute treated food in future only with x-rays.
The chapel of San Severo in the heart of the historic centre of Naples was a meeting place for art lovers from all over the world for 2 centuries. In these days but, she is transformed into a Mecca of physicians and anthropologists. The corpse of a man was found in the basement of the Chapel, whose Fleisch rotting, whose veins and arteries but are preserved. Professionals are facing a puzzle and there are not few people who use the word "Miracle" to help, at least until a declaration has found.

Sport if on the day of the patron saint of hunters and horsemen from the bottle of the pioneer, the Fox slogan drips and the crowd takes the track, the descendants of St. Hubertus rejoice. Drag hunting modelled on English Irish, sporting high point of rider of the year. In the Park of a Holstein good a camera team of the slow motion followed the 15 kilometre-long hunt.
Par force hunting can be hard. Hunting jumps are smaller than the jumps on the course; but the obstacles are coherent. Who rides behind the dogs, can't go to the dogs - a proud rider slogan, even if they collapse behind the dogs.
The pleasure is centuries old, the ritual is traditional: the Halali announces the end of the hunt, a FIR break rewards the rider. The Curé, a piece of raw cow rumen satisfies the hunger of the Fox-Hounds on the prey.
