Not so in the Czech Republic, where Albright was born. The idea of Albright's succeeding Havel, who has been found to have lung cancer, was being touted by Havel's friends in a Czech magazine called The New Presence. "It isn't a completely absurd idea... A politician of her caliber, as well as her energy and political experience, would take her former countrymen by storm," the article argued. "I'm honored...

The hellfire sermons and finger-pointing bothered the 15-year-old Michael, but he felt they might be worth it if God cured her. One morning, "at about 2:45," her coughing was loud enough to wake him.

But once it became clear that the rodeo's big-money sponsor, U.S. Tobacco, planned to hang signs in the arena and hand out free samples of that cowboy staple, Copenhagen and Skoal chewing tobacco, the American Lung Association took out full-page ads in the local newspaper in protest. This prompted M.S.U. president MIKE MALONE to invoke the new campus antitobacco rule and cancel the event, sending national organizers off to look for a tobacco-friendly site, perhaps Oklahoma City or Las Vegas.
