	Merkel Appoints 6 to Germany's New Cabinet - New York Times
		BERLIN, Oct. 17 - Germany's chancellor-designate, Angela Merkel, appointed a theologian, a gynecologist and former political opponents to her cabinet today in a decision that will test her ability to introduce change and maintain the stability of her grand coalition of conservatives and Social Democrats.
		Merkel's choice of six ministers to join eight Social Democrats chosen last week by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Franz Müntefering, the future vice chancellor, poses a major challenge for a politician poised to become Germany's first female chancellor.
		Jung had taken responsibility for a finance scandal and resigned.

	Merkel gives finishing touches to German cabinet -DAWN - International; October 17, 2005
		Merkel also sought to calm fears expressed by Stoiber and the future vice-chancellor and Social Democratic leader Franz Muentefering that she would lack the power guaranteed chancellors by Germany’s Basic Law to impose her will on policy decisions.
		Franz Josef Jung, a leading member of the Christian Democrat government in the central state of Hesse, which includes Germany’s financial hub Frankfurt, has also been rumoured to be in the running for the job.
		There is less debate over the interior ministry, where Wolfgang Schaeuble, a confidant of conservative former chancellor Helmut Kohl and who held the job from 1989 to 1991, will add some much-needed experience to the line-up.

		Defense minister: Franz Josef Jung, again a younger guy from the second line, but one connected to Merkel's inner-party opponents: he was faction chief in Hessen province, whose PM is the awful Roland Koch.
		Jung is not someone to trust either: he survived a party finance scandal of his own too.
		He is an old party soldier, not too charismatic, with a rhetoric liked by the party traditionalists ("locusts" speech), but in practice very loyal to Schröder.
