She's Never Far Away

Economic summits appear to be be over for a while. The Euro crisis is giving way to other stories. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel is yesterday's news, right? Wrong.

She is seen here with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at a trade fair in Hanover, Germany. Chancellor Merkel is pointing something out that might be a bit over the Premier's head. Another picture, that appeared in a print edition of the WSJ, shows Angela standing next to Mr. Jiabao, who is seen holding an invention of some kind, with Angela motioning with her left hand that's it's really 'that simple.' The invention looks like a detonator, but we'll assume it was ruled safe.

With France's President Nicolas Sarkozy campaigning in France for re-election, appearances with that head-of-state don't seem to be happening. Nick is now seen more often with his actress, singer wife, Carla-Bruni Sarkozy as he tries to brush back the challengers.

Angela is everywhere. If by baseball's All-Star break she's not seen in a seat behind the Yankee dugout with Mayor Mike, holding a copy of  the book 'Damn Yankees,' I'll eat a Smith-Corona typewriter ribbon, if one can be found.
