Video footage from the WBAP-TV television station in Fort Worth, Texas, covering a news story about the chancellor of West Germany arriving in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Recording of Hans Ulrich Humpert's Der Frieden.

Script from the WBAP-TV/NBC station in Fort Worth, Texas, covering a news story about the arrests of John Edward Joiner, who wore an arm-band with the swastika, the symbol of Nazi Germany under Adolph Hitler. Joiner was arrested in Dallas for walking on-site of President Kennedy's assassination carrying a dummy of Fidel Castro.

Title and Abstract in English, French and German, while paper is in English. The use of manganese as a colorant in ancient glasses has long been recognized and the recent X-ray diffraction measurements of Turner and Rooksby have established that compounds of antimony were used extensively as opacifiers in such glasses. The analysis at Brookhaven National Laboratory of some three hundred ancient western glasses of the second millennium B.C. through the first millennium A.D., of which more than two hundred contained either or both of these elements in sufficiently great concentrations to indicate deliberate additions, not only has provided confirmation of these observation but also evidence that both of these elements were used extensively to counteract discoloration due to iron in glasses intended to be clear and colorless. As is well known in the case of manganese the different behavior of antimony in different glasses appears to depend upon its chemical valence. The technique of decolorizing glass by means of antimony was introduced at about the seventh century B.C. and the similar use of manganese became widespread during the first century A.D. In the following period through the fourth century the alternate or combined use of these decolorants forms an …

Photograph of a street in Lucerne, Switzerland. A red and white barrier is visible in the right foreground. A child on a tricycle is visible next to the barrier on the street. A man in white walks across the street. A row of shops is visible on the left side of the street. More buildings are visible in the background.

Photograph of people outside of a white two story building. Many of these are young women wearing dirndls, while others are men wearing suits and hats and older women wearing formal dresses. Wagons are visible to the left of the building's entrance, which has a banner stating "Willkommen!" hanging over it.

Photograph of a white car with an open top and a U. S. flag mounted on its front right wheel well. Its passengers are mostly obscured, save for Lady Bird Johnson. The car is passing in front of the Fredericksburg High School band and a reversed sign that reads "wellkommen."

Photograph of the Fredericksburg High School Band lined up and in their uniforms. A pair of majorettes are holding poles of a banner that reads "Willkommen," which is German for "welcome."

Photograph of a sign sitting on a house lawn. The sign reads "Herzlich willkommen Herr Bundeskanzler Erhard," which means "Warm welcome to Chancellor Erhard."

Photograph of a banner that reads "Willkommen" and is hanging over a street. The left of the banner is printed with a striped and starred shield, while the right shield has three vertical stripes of increasingly dark colors. Traffic lights, buildings, and cars can be seen along the road.

Photograph of people gathered in front of the Vereins-Kirche in Fredericksburg, Texas, in order to bid farewell to Ludwig Erhard. A banner written with "auf wiedersehen" stands in front of a batter's cage of an nearby baseball field. People mill about in the street near a white car that has a U. S. and a German flag attached to its front wheel wells.

Photograph of a stadium full of people. At the lower left, there is a group of men wearing shirts and bow ties who are sitting under letters that have been affixed to a railing. The letters spell out "willkommen Adenauer." To the lower right, boys and girls are dressed in traditional German style. Behind the children is a German flag (left) and patriotic bunting (right).

Several sources of error often involved in radio-gas chromatography are delineated and proposals for improved techniques are made. Remarkable changes of flow rate (and hence efficiency changes of a continuous flow counter), which occur after the injection of large gas samples, have been studied as functions of the variables involved. A new flow meter is described, which allows a continuous recording of the flow rate, independent of the viscosity of the gas. When a mass peak emerges from a gas chromatographic column, a relatively large change in the flow rate is likely to occur. The error involved is particularly serious in the cases when the radioactivity of the effluent gases is determined with a flow counter, whose efficiency depends upon the flow rate. The simple and highly precise flow meter described allows one to measure and therefore correct for the flow changes. An example is given of a radio-gas chromatographic analysis of mixtures C¹⁴- and C¹¹-labeled hydrocarbon obtained by nuclear recoil. A convenient and precise evaluation of the radioactivity in the peak of the gas chromatographic effluent digital printout system is described. An application of the improved radio-gas chromatographic technique is given for the analysis of C¹⁴- and C¹¹- recoil …
