Germany is set to get a new president later today. A special parliamentary assembly is due to elect Jo-achim Gauck. His predecessor, Christian Wulff, resigned in a storm of allegations over corruption and financial favors. The former Lutheran minister is likely to use the office to preach a message of civic engagement.
