YANGON, Myanmar - Myanmar is preparing to open its first session of parliament in more than two decades, a major step in the ruling military s self-styled transition to democracy but one being carried out with little fanfare or public enthusiasm.There is muted hope that Monday s convening of the new legislature will be a step, however small, in the right direction for a country that has seen the army rule wi stanley becher th impunity since a 1962 coup ended the last legitimate parliamentary democracy.
