Romania's Self-Styled King of the Roma Dies

An interesting article about the man declared to be the King of the Gypsies (his word) in Romania.  He stirred up controversy by marrying his 12 year old daughter to a 15 year old Roma boy but then vowed to stop this tradition of early marriage.  He also supported education as a way to fight poverty among the Roma.
