Weltkrieg, die geprägt waren von großer Verunsicherung und anders als heute auch von großer Not. Mitten im Krieg, der nach ihrer Geburt noch zwei Jahre dauern sollte, kam Chris Lohner zur Welt.

Er ist jung und eifrig. Er ist stolz auf sich und auf die große Zeitung, bei der er arbeiten darf. Er genießt es, die Dinge kühl und gegebenenfalls scharf niederschreiben zu dürfen, er genießt es umso mehr, da es in seinem vorherigen journalistischen Leben nicht möglich war; er ist der erste Ostler in der Redaktion. Zunächst arbeitet er im Sportressort, dann als Reporter. Über Jahre geschieht und gelingt alles wie selbstverständlich, weit ist diese Welt hier und offen - bis das Vorherige, das Bedrängende von Neuem aufscheint, in eleganterer Form, mit dramatischen Folgen.

In May 1987, Colorado Senator Gary Hart seemed like a no-brainer for the Democratic party's presidential nomination. He was articulate, dashing and refreshingly progressive and led George H. W. Bush by double digits in the polls. However, he was also a deeply private man, uneasy when attention moved away from his political views to his personal life. Then, in one tumultuous week, it all came crashing down.

Witz, Satire und die Lust an absurden Kontrasten: In seinen Glossen sieht Hellmuth Karasek der Zeit beim Vergehen zu und versucht, wenigstens die Komik festzuhalten. "Karasek ist eine Erzählernatur." Felicitas von Lovenberg, F.A.Z. Eigentlich küsst man Kröten nicht - man schluckt sie als unangenehme Wahrheiten hinunter. Nur Frösche küsst man - im Märchen, damit sie sich in Prinzen verwandeln. Doch die Glosse verhält sich zur Realität so, als müsste ihr Autor dauernd Kröten schlucken.

Søren Ryge Petersen, som vi kender ham, med hans glæde ved at opspore folk, der har en historie og ved at fortælle den. Derudover fortæller han om sin egen barndom som lærersøn, om skolegang, kammeraterne og livets gang i den lille landsby, han boede i.
