NOW IT
HAS BEEN TOLD
ANGELA MERKEL
STRIDING
IN BETTER TIMES
On the other hand, it is not too bad a time now, given her recently haven been chosen Chancellor of Germany for the third time. But over the Christmas holiday, Chancellor Merkel fell skiing in Switzerland, and apparently thought she was only bruised. Turned out she had fractured her pelvis, a fact revealed finally today. There are reports here and here and in Der Spiegel in English, here. The German version of Der Spiegel has a much fuller account, here ("Chancellor On Ice"), complete with an anatomical diagram and a map showing the location in Switzerland (here). Some background on "The Making of Angela Merkel" is to be found here.
