Vaclav Havel, former playwright, president of the Czech Republic and leader of the Velvet revolution in 1981, died in his country home northeast of Prague today at the age of 75, succumbing to a battle with lung cancer. He was a chain smoker for much of his life, but his health problems also stem from the five years he spent in communist prison for dissident activity, where he suffered a poorly treated case of pneumonia that left him with a lifetime of chronic lung problems.
