Sir, - How refreshing to hear President Vaclav Havel of the Czech Republic, humbly admit difficulty in speaking to his political colleagues on matters spiritual or transcendental, "as if such thoughts were to them largely a matter of private whim or personal hobby, that do not belong to the public scene of politics".
Perhaps, in our growing self-confidence as a people, will come the courage to articulate some of the spiritual richness we have inherited, and his hope of our bringing this unique dimension to a unified Europe will not be disappointed. - Yours, etc..
