Ms. Lagarde has just been appointed to head the Fund following the famous misstep of her predecessor, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who resigned following allegations of sexual improprieties in a New York hotel involving a member of the housekeeping staff. After that resignation. Ms. Lagarde sprinted to the front of the pack of contenders, and now has secured the I.M.F. position.
Given that elevation, her picture is appearing in the paper. The NYT alone has her as a "reefer" twice: on the front pages of their main section as well as the Business Section, where a little further inside she is seen in a bit of peek-a-boo pose checking someone, or something out. Time will tell what to make of this Hanes underwear, boxer or briefs Michael Jordan look.
And Angela? Not forgotten whatsoever. According to the Times story, Ms. Lagarde has "nurtured a close personal relationship with the German Chancellor." Angela's picture appears in the same section, on the very next page, as part of another fiscal story, where she is seen inspecting an honor guard of troops in Berlin with the Chinese Prime Minister, Wen Jiabao.
