I second what Robert said above. Though I wasn’t at Columbia in 2006, I did see Havel speak at the Library of Congress around the same time, and there were dozens of young people in attendance–and dozens more who couldn’t get in. Though I do think Noam Chomsky makes a fair point from time, I also consider Vaclav Havel to be one of the singular people of the last 50 years.
