Thinking Heads

It's one of the larger front page NYT pictures I've seen lately. Today, centered, at the very top, it stretches four columns wide and runs a little over five inches deep. In color, or course.

For a change, Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel is not seen with France's president Nicolas Sarkozy, but rather with Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund. Both gazes are thoughful and serious, and might well be poses for the sculptor creating a female version of Mount Rushmore for the IMF. Name whoever else you might, Angela's the anchor.

Angela Merkel. She's bigger than Wal-Mart.
