When serving as NATO Military Committee Chairman, @general_pavel always conveyed wisdom, integrity and intellect. His election as President of CZ bodes well for the Czech Republic, Europe, and the transatlantic relationship.
Gratulujeme to @bijan Sabet, confirmed this week by the Senate this week to be the new US Amb to CZ. No better place to be posted, and no better person for the post. In case you need an extra flag pin, hit me up – I’ve got a bunch!
If you can’t be in CZ, no better place to mark the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution than at NYC’s Bohemian National Hall for a concert paying homage to Vaclav Havel and the music of the Velvet Underground and Plastic People of the Universe.
Justice Blackmun, author of Roe v Wade, for whom I had the privilege of clerking early in my career, watching anti-abortion protestors outside the Court on the decision's 20th anniversary, Jan 22, 1993.

Ketanji Brown Jackson's representation of Guantanamo detainees, whether as a federal defender or pro bono at a firm, is laudable, noble work, in the best tradition of the legal profession--going back to John Adams' representation of British soldiers charged in the Boston Massacre
Madeleine Albright’s courage and vision made her not only an essential source of advice (and friendship) for me, but also an irreplaceable voice of reason and warning for the world. And she was still at it. Her passing is a tremendous loss.
