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?"

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.

Otherwise, contact with an ever-increasing part of the population will be lost forever.
