PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -- Norodom Sihanouk, the former Cambodian king who was never far from the center of his country's politics through a half-century of war, genocide and upheaval, has died. He was 89.

Interesting guy, but pretty low-profile by the standards of Indochina politics in the Vietnam War and aftermath eras(compare to Ho Chi Minh or Pol Pot). Probably better known to earlier generations. Certainly adept at forming ad hoc alliances with anyone he needed to, in order to stay in power.
