A recent
article in the Wall Street Journal on Europe's "opposite twins" recounted this incident:
Shortly after Nicolas Sarkozy was elected French president in 2007, he met German leader Angela Merkel at an aircraft factory in Toulouse to resolve a Franco-German squabble over who should run Airbus, the European plane maker.
Mr. Sarkozy joked that he and Ms. Merkel would make a good management team for Airbus. "You could look after the details," he said, according to people present. Ms. Merkel responded with a quip of her own: "And you could look after marketing."
