Wolfowitz is Crowned The long international nightmare is over -- well, no, it's only just beginning. "The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors today unanimously confirmed the nomination of Paul D. Wolfowitz to be President of the World Bank." So says the press release posted on the World Bank's website.

To read Wolfowitz's reaction -- and Wolfensohn's -- the World Bank provides a separate release. Finally, the ceremonial picture of the two men shaking hands, suitable for mocking, is posted on the Bank's homepage. But the full-size version can be found here.
