Interesting note on Vaclav Havel ( born 1936)....he was a widely known Czech playwright ( works including The Increased Difficulty of Concentration '67 and The Garden Party '69 ...) He became a civil rights leader after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia '68...and was jailed for 7 years. There was a young Rhodes scholar from America studying in England that journeyed to the Eastern block country's in the late 60's, who met with Havel several times in a coffee shop to discuss politics and civil rights and gov't. Though they had many disagreements... their conversations were brilliant and spirited. The young American went on with his travels , taking leave of Vaclav, who was later to be Jailed for sedition and the usual " you goin against the grain of the party line boy"... Corps politic du mal Almost a 1/4 of a century later in 1992, the young American Rhodes scholar was elected the President of the United States.... ...and a year later the playwright HaveL Vaclav was elected respectively------->the President of Czech Republic in 1993. true story. The young American scholar was Bill Clinton...LOL! ;-) regards Mars
