| Power Points | So close, and yet so far. No one understands that better than Megawati, who came within a stroke of winning the presidency. Arrogance and a reluctance to cut deals with Wahid cost her the election. The flower-arranging Megawati has also failed to transform her party from Sukarno-worshippers into a legitimate political force. Nor has she managed to broker a peace between its warring factions. Her awesome personal appeal is not all-powerful, made strikingly apparent in last year's failed campaign to convince East Timor to remain part of Indonesia. Yet she is only a step away from presidential power.
