Final Word from Saturday, March 1, 2003
In his nomination speech today, presidential candidate Václav Klaus said the CR isn't a small nation, despite its small population. He encouraged his fellow citizens to take from the world the best it has to give, and to give back the best they have to offer. Model Petra Němcová is one of the Czechs living by this credo. She's the cover girl for the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated (see http://si.cnn.com/features/2003_swimsuit/), which is the best-selling issue of any magazine in the world, and she wowed millions on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" with her big smile, quick wit and unmatchable Czech beauty. Klaus defeated Jan Sokol today to become Czech president and will earn an appropriate place in global affairs. Petra, while not exactly presidential material, is setting the world on fire in her own way too.
