From a Faraway Country   

In 1965 I discovered that the U.S. Embassy in Prague, then communist Czechoslovakia, ran a small library with books and magazines. It was open to the public. There I discovered the NR and in no time I was captivated by WFB´s contributions. He helped me tremendously in my formative years to grasp clearly the principles I had known deep down to be true without realizing that. I had not kept that knowledge to myself in later years and in this way WFB has influenced developments in my country. Using R.Kirk´s words – he is a giant on whose shoulders many stand and will stand.
Pavel Bratinka, Czech Republic
