TBW Daily Diary

A welcome visit from Lynn Clemons today . . . David Hoffman back in town after a book-signing tour . . . The best TV on the net (or the best TV period) comes from Germany. (http://www.dw-world.de/) Scroll down to TV in the left column and click on Video on Demand . . . We have nothing like these half-hour programs. . . EuroMaxx, a daily review of cultural doings on the Continent. Tuesday thru Saturday, with a "highlights" program on Monday. . . Discover Germany, a weekly tourism program . . . Arts.21, a weekly "what's new" in music, art, and literature . . . and Kino, a monthly review of the new Continental movies with an emphasis on the German ones . . . there are several other topics I have not yet explored. . . All are in English. BE ADVISED, however--the Continent is far more sophisticated than the U.S. You may encounter occasional nudity in art, on the beach, in film clips, etc. . . .
