Mixed Doubles 4: Week after week, the shortest column in the world captivates the readers of the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazine. Mixed Doubles responds with wit to current events and presents inspiring word-image combinations. Neither personal matters (excess fluff – unnecessary foam) nor political and social issues (quarreling syllable – zinc ointment) are spared. The newly released memory game edition Mixed Doubles 4, appearing eight years after Mixed Doubles 3, is timely and also takes aim at the still relevant issue of mass doping among cyclists: highly doped handlebars – highly praised thinkers.
