WAIT, BEFORE YOU GO…BBC:
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz has apologised for “mistakes” made over the promotion and pay of a ex-colleague with whom he is romantically involved.
Mr. Wolfowitz’s partner, Shaha Riza, was moved to the State Department when he took the bank’s top job in 2005.

The controversy comes ahead of joint World Bank and IMF spring meetings.
