There'll be an unfamiliar face at Angela Merkel's side when the German Chancellor travels to President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, on Friday - Germany's "first gentleman," Joachim Sauer. Unlike other head-of-state spouses in Germany and elsewhere, Sauer is rarely seen at his wife's side as she carries out her duties as the world's most powerful woman...
...visits to the ranch in Crawford are clearly in another category for Sauer, who apparently has plenty of time for the U.S. When the Berlin Wall came down, allowing him finally to travel freely, one of Sauer's first destinations was California, where he briefly took a job at a San Diego software company; Merkel visited him there before they were married. Merkel's "very positive image of America," says Langguth, dates from that period. During her first trip, "she gushed about the land of opportunity," says Langguth...
...think the role of the news anchor has changed over the years? -Kathy Crawford, Ossining, N.Y.

Signs of a U.S. effort to make nice could come with some new concession on the environment or on the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and broader issues of human rights...
Graham, who will turn 89 next month, had been hoping to make the trip at some point and even joked to the President that he would prefer to meet him in Crawford, Texas, rather than Washington. He told us in January that he was concerned about the President - and worried about the progress of the war in Iraq, where his grandson was fighting as an Army Ranger. The President called the preacher after Ruth's death, and last week finally managed to meet with him. "They shared fellowship and prayer and encouragement," said one well-placed source...
