Havel’s quiet exit caps a era of upheaval and doubt
Vaclav Havel steps down after 13 years as Czech president in a year that began with 1989 revolutions and ended with a more mundane post communist reality. He recalls the fairy tale of revolution while acknowledging the hard fall to earth and the limits of his dream. The Czech Republic has moved beyond dictatorship, joined NATO, and aims to enter the European Union.
