PITY THE POOR TIMESMEN:
They can't even bring themselves to use the man's name in their headline:
Bush Chooses a Top Pentagon Aide to Head the World Bank (ELIZABETH BECKER and DAVID E. SANGER, March 16, 2005, NY Times)

The Howell Raines regime headline would have been "Bush Picks Neocon To Head World Bank."
And subhead: "Likes Wolfowitz Since Jews Are Good With Money."
Or maybe that would be from the Saudi edition of "The Onion."

"Bush Chooses @#!#*&@%*!#&! Wolfowitz to Head the World Bank"
as part of a headline, though possibly not in the body copy...
