The Big Bad Wolf.
Shortly after 9/11/2001, determined not to be afraid of traveling and in keeping with a trip I booked, I visited Prague. It was one of the most charming and beautiful cities I ever visited. I learned there the heroism of Vaclav Havel, a gentle man with the heart of a lion.
Here's to a life well lived. Thank you Mr. Havel.
PRAGUE (AP) The end of Czechoslovakia's totalitarian regime was called the Velvet Revolution because of how smooth the transition seemed: Communism dead in a matter of weeks, without a shot fired. But for Vaclav Havel, it was a moment he helped pay for with decades of suffering and struggle.
The dissident playwright spent years in jail but never lost his defiance, or his eloquence, and the government's attempts to crush his will ended up expanding his influence. He became a source of inspiration to Czechs, and to all of Eastern Europe. He went from prisoner to president in 1989, the year the Berlin Wall fell and communism crumbled across the region.
