When Aung San Suu Kyi is in the room, the audience tends to focus on her.
At Saturday's World Leaders Forum event, she managed to discuss serious issues behind Burma's political transition in between making a joke about pressure cookers and publicizing a vacant speechwriting position.
She took questions and asked advice of the students in the room. She left an email address and promised to respond to everyone. She talked about the importance of staying true to principles, but left no doubt that she was fully cognizant of the immediate and practical challenges she faces as an incumbent politician.
