I can't think of any other names to include in my list of newly diacriticized names, so here are a couple of individuals who I will be mentioning. Vítěslav Nezval and Jiří Voskovec. The former was a Surrealist poet, among other things and the latter was a member of the Czech avant-garde, half of the comedy duo Voskovec and Werich, and if I had been a girl during the 1930s in Czechoslovakia, the object of a serious crush. Also, if you've seen Twelve Angry Men, he's in it credited as "George Voskovec." -Zh.
