Hinze et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2437(2000), H. Cang et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 197401 (2003)], is explained within the mode-coupling theory for ideal glass transitions as manifestation of the $β$-peak phenomenon. A schematic model, which describes the dynamics by only two correlators, one referring to density fluctuations and the other to the reorientational fluctuations of the molecules, yields for strong rotation-translation coupling response functions in agreement with those measured for benzophenone and Salol for the time interval extending from 2 picoseconds to about 20 and 200 nanoseconds, respectively.4 pages, 3 figuresDisordered Systems and Neural NetworksNearly-logarithmic decay of correlations in glass-forming liquidstext
