Wolfowitz at World Bank?

It is hard to imagine that the way wasn't already cleared with the French
and Germans during Rice's recent trip and another tip off is that the
Clinton-appointed Wolfenson has *already* praised Wolfowitz as a
nominee.  But just a few years ago the Europeans nominated Caio Koch-Wesser
to be head of the IMF.  He was Germany's Deputy-Finance Minister and well
qualified having spent a number of years in the World Bank, rising to be a
#2.  Larry Summers vetoed him as too "soft" on macro-policy.  Asymmetries
abound.
