I know that many "Zeit" readers have a similar experience: their newspaper has accompanied entire families for generations. in the 1980s observing Germany for the then Weltwoche, my father always asked me with concern whether I was too naive in my trust in the stability of the old Federal Republic: "Do you really believe that the Germans have become steadfast democrats?"
I then gave him the articles by Marion Gräfin Dönhoff or Theo austria rcs data Sommer, which he trusted more than those of mine. Now, 35 years later, I watch my grown-up daughter reading "Die Zeit"; so I am not surprised that your paper can report the highest circulation in its history. The next generation is obviously assured of you. You could not have given yourself a better birthday present.
