This is a very American question.
 
What do the Slavs here think about US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright becoming the next Czech president, Vaclav Havel's successor?
 
From what I've read, she's a shoe-in (but this is just what I've read). She is native-born-Czech, and speaks the langauge as a native, apparently right down to a perfect r-hacek.
 
Prague Castle is a peculiar place, in literature, history, and in Czech mentality. All three defenestrations and all that, plus the novel. Can Mrs. Albright help us re-establish 'Mittleeuropa'?
 
Mrs. Albright will bring many skills to Middle Europe. Some IE skills, skills that fund some archaeological excavations.
