		He was born Tomas Masaryk on March 7th 1850, to a Slovak father and Czech-German mother in the small town of Hodonin in South Moravia, very close to what is now the border with Slovakia.

		Masaryk's literary activities were extensive, including being the editor-in-chief for various magazines, an editor for a new Czech encyclopaedia, and translating literary works by such greats as Dostojevsky into Czech.

	Washington's Shevchenko and his neighbors: if only they could converse (04/06/03)
		Czech sculptor Vincenc Makovsky created it soon after Masaryk's death in 1937, but because of the Nazi and then Soviet occupation that followed it was not cast in bronze until the "Prague Spring" in 1968, only to be put back into storage when the Soviets quashed that political experiment.
		Makovsky's Masaryk is reminiscent of most of the statues of Shevchenko in Ukraine and elsewhere, in sharp contrast to Leo Mol's young, vibrant and defiant Shevchenko standing ramrod straight a block away.
		Masaryk's park, although less than one-fifth the size, stands right at the entrance to "Embassy Row," a mile-long stretch of Massachusetts Avenue lined with foreign embassies and diplomatic residences.

		Tomas Garrigue Masaryk was already a grand old man in his 70s when the 32-year-old Capek began interviewing him in 1922.
		Masaryk's explanation of his position gives a sense of his typically upright and commonsensical approach: "I considered the Manuscripts issue to be first and foremost a moral issue: if they were forgeries we had to confess it to the world; our pride, our culture could not be based on a lie."
		Talks With T. Masaryk is the story of how a poor country boy, half Czech, half Slovak, got himself an education, married a girl from Brooklyn, became a philosophy professor, and grew increasingly controversial by defending a young Jew accused of ritual murder and by unmasking Czech historical sagas as forgeries.

	Newsletter -- Fall 2001
		Tomás Garrigue Masaryk, the first President and liberator of Czechoslovakia, stands in history as the embodiment of politics based on truth and morality.
		The statue will stand in Masaryk Park on Massachusetts Avenue at the beginning of Embassy Row in Washington, D.C. The statue that will be raised to commemorate "one of history's foremost democrats, in the capital of the world's leading democracy" has long been a powerful symbol of President Masaryk and the ideals he championed.
		Masaryk as an independent thinker and as a statesman will always be a silent partner to our "social contract;" he will remain always, as he was in the past, a great challenger for future generations of Czech politicians.

		As interest in Masaryk in the Czech Republic grows, the first president's connections to America also shouldn't be forgotten.
		I would say that the first element of it in Masaryk's eyes was work, a decent effort to do something not only for yourself, but for your country, for the society, and something useful.
