Seif says he spent most of last year coaxing his father into transforming his 35-year-old revolution, which Gaddafi has led since he waged a military coup in 1969. The aging revolutionary has ruled over a centralized socialist system, repressing dissent and supporting armed attacks against American targets. Seif, 32, is believed by many analysts and diplomats to be Gaddafi's probable political heir. He is a doctoral student at the London School of Economics, a skilled artist and a keen tennis player...
