| Power Points | Hun Sen's year began with thedelivery of his first grandchild, but the PM has hadlittle time to play happy families. A scandal that blew up late last year, when aFrench magazine ran a story claiming Hun Sen's wife had ordered the shootingof his alleged mistress, still hangs over him. The PM is reserving his legalposition on that one, but on the issue of a trial for former Khmer Rouge leadershe has taken a tougher line - refusing to let the U.N. dominate any tribunal. Alittle-loved man in a thankless job, Hun Sen has won both respect and powerby bringing surviving Khmer Rouge leaders to their knees. His place in historywill rest on what he does with them next.
