With the death of Vaclav Havel, the world has lost the only head of state in modern memory to attain the ideal of Philosopher King as set forth by Plato in The Republic. May his love of life and literature, and his devotion to democracy, justice and wisdom renew our hearts and minds. May others like Vaclav Havel achieve positions of leadership in this our still new century.

I agree. Havel, in my opinion, was one of the truly great leaders and people of the 20th century. The world should mourn his passing and work to carry forward his legacy of intellect and decency.

May the Light of God surround him as his journey continues through space and time. (Ditto per Mary and Will, per Vaclav. I am having small computing imputing difficulties and must log off.) In hope, sherrie
