notes from a young american in israel "a mission exists for any human group which knows how to derive pride and fecundity from its labors and its sufferings." -albert camus
Interesting piece on Vaclav Havel, ex-dissident/president of the Czech Republic. Much comparison to my favorite writer, the one and only G. Orwell. I've heard mixed things about Havel for years, but anyone Noam Chomsky hates this much has got to be worth reading about. Enjoy.
