Historians hope for a miracle find in the archives. This I did find a quarter of a century ago, but it never really caught on. No miracle for me then :-)

As is characteristic of his generocity to colleagues & students, Guenter "requested this retrospective of his life be published after his passing in gratitude for all the people who influenced his life and assisted him in his academic career" www.gbrisse.com/blog

A weird German word in academic circles is Selbstzahler. When conferences organise dinners (or drinks) but expect you to pay your own way. But then again, I remember a wedding do in the UK with a cash bar. The same idea, different context.

Chefarzt fordert radikalen Umbau: «Ich sehe keinen vernünftigen Grund, eine Vielzahl von Krankenkassen zu betreiben» Andreas Kistler sieht in den Marktmechanismen im Gesundheitswesen einen Grund für die Kostenexplosion. Die Spitäler würde er in eine nationale Gesundheitsorganisation integrieren.
