I'm kind of pleased that Angela Merkel has decided to assert her personal space.
I'm less than pleased that people are attributing it to her "chilly" East German demeanor, and not the fact that she maybe just doesn't want to be fondled by other heads of state.
(So noted: the article is based on background info; not an official statement from the Chancellor. Of course, if one was an important female head of state and one wanted other world leaders to STOP TOUCHING THEM, going through nonformal communications would be the way to do it -- anything else would be seen as pushy and overreacting.)
