Zoellick to replace Wolfowitz at World Bank.

AP reports:

President Bush has chosen Robert Zoellick, a one-time U.S. trade representative and former No. 2 official at the State Department, to lead the World Bank, a senior administration official said Tuesday.

Bush will announce his decision on Wednesday.

Zoellick, who resigned from the Bush administration last June feeling “marginalized” and “subordinate,” is now an executive at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
