Let’s not forget to honor the
memory of Vaclav Havel, the playwright turned national leader who led the 1989 Velvet Revolution that toppled communism in Czechoslovakia. Havel died this weekend at the age of 75 from a repertory ailment first contracted during one of his periods of imprisonment under the old communist rule. Vaclav Havel was surely as great or greater a hero as Kim was a villain.
