By the way

Anyone who believes sports isn't educational isn't paying attention. I remember when I was 15 or so the great Peter Stastny was playing for the Quebec Nordiques. Stastny was always referred to as the "Czech" star or whatever. When he was long enough in the league (and comfortable in English & French) Stastny announced that he and his brothers, Anton & Marian, were not "Czechs", but "Slovaks". That was the first inkling I had that some of the countries of Central Europe were not all that stable.
