Shortly after becoming United Nations Ambassador, Madeleine Albright was asked to speak at the Gridiron Club in Washington D.C. She ended her remarks on a serious note referencing President Clinton's Arkansas hometown, invoked during his campaign as “a place called Hope.” Secretary Albright said "I was eleven years old when I arrived in America from a neighborhood in Prague called Smichov, which happens to be the Czech word for laughter. No matter how serious the word becomes, I still believe in a place called Smichov."

Appearing in overall good, sturdy, and ready to place condition. Free from chips, cracks, or breaks. Minor shelf wear to the underside consistent with age and gentle use.
