Steven A. Schroeder '60 says that before he went to Harvard he was content with "just getting...

The German chancellor, who has long sought to have a German installed at the helm of the one of the world's ruling bodies, thought he had a lock on the top job at the International Monetary Fund - after all, since its inception after World War II, Europe has traditionally picked the IMF's leader (America got to choose the head of the World Bank).
