A Rare Glimpse Inside
For the opening celebrations of the Martin Luther Year in the DDR or East Germany, a Solemn Protestant Service, held today on the Wartburg at Eisenach in Thuringia, was broadcast on television that could be seen in the West. It offered a rare glimpse inside a world which has completely vanished from our consciousness. The first pictures of the Wartburg, this towering, medieval fortress, which we only know from Wagner�s Tannh�user and Luther�s translation of the Bible, brought back into memory an almost forgotten sense of history. Surprising was the throng of people to this Service. What do their serious, grave �looking faces, we may ask, want to tell us?

Firmly Resolved
At the recent G-7 summit meeting in Williamsburg, Virginia, the seven leading industrial nations have proved to be firmly resolved. No doubt was left about NATO�s resolution to update its nuclear force in Europe, should the disarmament conference in Geneva not lead to any result.
