1: "DEUTSCHE WELLE" TV AND SHORT WAVE RADIO
***********************************************

If you are interested in the German language, Germany, or Europe, you might be
interested in the radio and TV program of Germany's international broadcasting
service "Deutsche Welle". The service broadcasts in German, English, and
Spanish. The service prints a monthly program guide for short wave radio and
TV. You can subscribe to the program guide (it's free!) by writing to:

The program guide also explains how to receive the programs by short-wave
radio, which are available for about $30 and up in any radio store. The TV
program can be received by satellite or in some areas by cable. For example,
"Mind Extension University" carries the news daily in German (5:30pm, Sa. & Su.
4:30pm), English (5:00pm, Sa. & Su. 4:00), and Spanish (6:00pm, Sa. & Su.
5:00pm) for 30 min. each, as well as a 1 hour Journal on Sunday (3:00pm). All
times are Central.

2: Sunday Paper "DIE ZEIT"
***********************************************

One of the most popular German Sunday Papers is available in the United States
for some time now. It is very up to date due to the fact that the printing
plates are flown to the US and it is printed and shipped from there, avoiding
delay due to overseas mail.
The paper costs $54 for 1 year (52 issues). Just send a check and your address
to the following address, or obtain an official order form first if you prefer.

DIE ZEIT
