I Inge Jens' memories (not an autobiography as it does not tire to point out) in December 2009 read, and I then for the first time extensive with the history of the family man busy - especially with the written jointly with her husband, the writer and scholar Walter Jens biography Katja Mann ("Mrs. Thomas Mann"). This of course was interested in the Pringsheim and the children of Thomas Mann, Golo, in particular, Klaus and Erika Mann adapted Consequently, yesterday's reading as the end of this reading program with the personal acquaintance of the now 83 year old woman. For time reasons, they chose only three episodes from her book at Rowohlt laid out - childhood in bombing in Hamburg, contacts and travel in the former GDR and lines of pain and grief over the dementia of her husband Walter Jens. That touched us particularly, but my father now suffers from the same disease, so we can understand the words of the writer.

World Climate Conference and Albert Schweitzer is currently a well mediocre movie about Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné and his jungle started in the cinema; appear only three biographies about him. What he has failed so magnificently with the climate conference to do in Copenhagen?
One should remember his ideas: a small book of the Union Verlag Berlin 1974 (7th edition) is before me: Albert Schweitzer, "The teaching of reverence for life". This book was based on a proposal by Gerald Goetting during his visit in August 1961 in Lambaréné. 
a lecture at the French Academy of Sciences on 20 October 1952 begins:.
"That which we call after a Greek word borrowed ethics and after the Latin taken morality is, in general, in the right human behavior is not limited to our but also of the other well, like the human society has to deal with us "
From the blurb:
." I am life that wants to live in the midst of life that wants to live "This thesis penetrates to Schweitzer. the idea before, in which world and life affirmation and ethics combine with each other. The term "reverence for life", in thought justified, is the cornerstone on which to rest any culture. Only the ethics of reverence for life is complete because it has to do not only with the behavior of man to his fellow man, but expands the circle of solidarity to all creatures. in this commandment of love attitude is a tremendous responsibility . The people of the world "
was from this responsibility feel probably nothing in Copenhagen, but what one should expect from politicians who are guided by interests of all times if they had this little booklet in the pocket and had from time to time? their action and decision-based instruction from it, it would have happened otherwise.
ago today 34, 21 January 1976, the scheduled commercial operation of the jointly developed by Britain and France supersonic airliner Concorde recorded. The first flight of the French "Concorde" is already on 2 Of March 1969 from Tolouse. The purely French crew consisted of the chief pilot Andre Turcat, the co-pilot Jacques Guignard, the flight observer Henri Jean-Louis Perrier, and the flight engineer Michel Retif. A few weeks later, on 9 April 1969 finally launched the British Concorde on its maiden flight. on 
With the crash of the Concorde of Air France 25th July 2000, the end of supersonic air traffic come. All passengers and crew and the staff of a crashing plane hit hotels were killed.
