A record audience, calculated in 1.8 million people, watched in Washington DC to the investiture of the new president of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, an important fact that makes rebirth the hope for an era of peace in our world, as it is shown in this issue’s editorial, “The investiture of Barack Obama and its perspectives”. 

Within the spotlights of this issue, we highlighted the interview of the confrere Yeda Hungria, radicated in Niteroi (RJ), gave to our collaborator and editor Orson Peter Carrara, in which she speaks about Dante Labbate, the author of the book “Mediumship and other psychic phenomena”, and a Spiritist pioneer in Massachusetts, United States. 

Another spotlight in this issue is the Special entitled “Aetiologies of the panic disorder”, in which Leonardo Machado, from Recife (PE), says that, despite being distressing, it is a syndrome which prognostic is not so disfavorable as we suppose, once the data from medical literature indicates amazing results and motivators of recovery. 

The third spotlight of this week is the Wellington Balbo’s article about the lyric singer Allan Vilches’ concert, which occurred last December at the “Centro Cultural Matarazzo” theatre, in Presidente Prudente (SP); this concert was prestiged by people from other religions, as two Evangelic Pastors and an Eucharist Catholic Minister, who were all touched by the performance of our confrere.
