Clinton struck by egg during anti-globalization demonstrations in Warsaw

Visiting former US president Bill Clinton was struck by an egg in Warsaw yesterday, thrown by an anti-globalization protester. Clinton had arrived in Warsaw by private jet earlier in the afternoon, and went immediately to the Old Town for lunch. He was hit on the arm by the egg as he was meeting students and tourists in Swietojanska Street. Later, as he was arriving at the Jan III Sobieski hotel to give a lecture on globalization, Clinton was again barracked by anti-globalization demonstrators. Later in the evening, Clinton was to attend an official reception, hosted by Polish president Aleksander Kwasniewski. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) M. S.-C.
