As Myanmar Changes,So Does Its Leader KYONKU, Myanmar - He is sometimes called the Mikhail Gorbachev of Myanmar, a once-loyal apparatchik of one of the world's most brutal military dictatorships who is chipping away at some of its worst legacies - freeing political prisoners, partially unshackling the press and allowing the long-persecuted opposition to run for election last Sunday. Why U Thein Sein, Myanmar's president, evolved from the right-hand man of a much-feared dictator to a campaigner for democratic change is as much a mystery as why the leaders of the former military junta have allowed him to do so. But in a series of interviews with those who watched Mr.Thein Sein's rise in the military, including two advisers, and a rare visit to his hometown, a picture has bugun to emerge of a man who was always a shade different from his fellow generals. At 66, Mr. Thein Sein is slight, bookish and considered softer - or at least less ruthless - than the other members of the junta that took power after a popular uprising in 1988. He is widely viewed as being free of the corruption that stained so many of those generals; even former critics have noted with approval that his wife and daughters have avoided the ostentatious shows of wealth that earned his predecessor's family so much animosity in one of Asia's poorest countries. In intervies after interview, former critics and longtime supporters alike made much of his sincerity and humility. One former adviser and presidential speechwriter, U Nay Win Maung, offered this assessment last year: "Not ambitious, not decisive, not charismatic, but very sincere."
