About Havel
2007-10-04
One of the first things readers of HN will notice today is Václav
Havel's signature with his trademarked red heart. That's how
Havel, the guest editor-in-chief for today's edition, signed his
meandering front-page preface. The next thing readers will
notice is that there's almost no news on the front page. Instead,
it's all about Havel. Even the story about Russia's latest anti-
democratic steps is mainly about Havel's Weltanschauung. Much
of the rest of the paper is the same. It's an interesting approach
- a guest editor who publishes a sort-of autobiographical,
flower-power edition - and it will undoubtedly raise the kind of
discussion HN was hoping for. HN now wants Václav Klaus to
take a turn as guest editor. Why not, he dressed up as a
homeless person for MFD? But if Klaus wants to score a major
political and media coup, he'll put out an issue of HN that makes
no mention whatsoever of himself.
