Citigroup honcho asked Geithner to be CEO

Long piece on Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's ties to Wall Street in the NYT. Reporters Jo Becker and Gretchen Morgenson obtained Geithner's daily appointment book for when he was president of the New York Fed, showing tennis games, daily limo rides from his house in Westchester County and Four Seasons meals with Wall Street bigwigs. The schedule chronicles Geithner's meetings with Citigroup's Sandy Weill in late 2007 to see if Geithner wanted to replace Chuck Prince as Citigroup's CEO.
