...appreciation for the reggae beat. Visiting Jamaica, the man who would be King became the toast of Kingston as he toured the blighted neighborhood of Trench Town and met with Bob Marley's widow Rita.

Czech polls show that the war in Kosovo, often dubbed Madeleine's War, was opposed by 75% of the Czech people. Also, Havel's term is not up until January 2003. He has been weakened by an operation for lung cancer and has no strong political base, so his approval would not help her politically...
