In 1999, Franjo Tudjman, president and founding father of the independent nation of Croatia, died in a hospital in the Croatian capital of Zagreb. He was 77. Tudjman was one of the last of a generation of eastern European political leaders who fought against Nazi Germany in World War II. In June 1997, he won election to his third term as president of the Republic of Croatia. He will be remembered for keeping his promise to lead Croatia to independence from Yugoslavia. But he also was a crafty practitioner of old-fashioned authoritarianism in post-communist eastern Europe.

There is not a lot of trustworthy information about Tudjman's early life, which was probably that of a poor village lad. His writings, and articles about him in crony newspapers, provide only a mirror that flattered him. He liked to dress up in a white uniform ornamented with gold braid and medals he had awarded himself. He sought to copy the style of his old boss Tito, living in Tito's former house in Zagreb and his holiday home on Brioni island.

I'm not an Obama-friend (he has disappointing me and so many others so much!) but this move to Cuba was a good and brave step after more than 50 years of "enmity". I only hope the Republicans will not kill this tender plant.

In 1959, Florence Griffith Joyner, American sprinter who set world records in the 100 metres (10.49 seconds) and 200 metres (21.34 seconds) that have stood since 1988, was born in Los Angeles. Olympic winner and known for her long, painted nails and dramatic running clothes, Florence was one of the world's greatest athletes. Her 1998 death was a shocker.
