Under her, Germany has once again become a nation to emulate.
France’s Finance Minister Christine Lagarde on Angela Merkel - The 2011 TIME 100

TIME

kattykay: Europe’s Odd Couple - NYTimes.com SHE MAKES FUN, in private, of the way he walks and talks, of his rapid, jerky gestures and facial grimaces. He mocks her deliberation, her reluctance, her matronly caution. She has compared him to Mr. Bean and to the French comic Louis de Funès, with his curly hair and large nose. He sometimes calls her La Boche, the offensive French version of “Kraut,” and goes out of his way to give her an embrace and a double-cheeked kiss in the French fashion, the kind of contact that he knows very well, aides say, she cannot stand. Love a good 3,000 words on Merkel. Will read that any day - if I find the time.
