Social Democratic party by the Nazi regime will be returned in a ceremony at the end of August, Berlin's Central and Regional Library has announced.

The labyrinthine mind of Jorge Luis Borges was celebrated today by Google with a doodle to mark what would have been the great Argentinian author's 112th birthday.
The search engine's sketch shows an elderly man in a suit looking out over a maze of staircases, buildings and bookshelves--"a wide, fantastic architecture scenery," said Google--in what could be a representation of one of Borges's most famous stories: The Library of Babel.
