Boston.com / Business / Fiorina in the running to be World Bank chief

Boston Globe article:

"Carly Fiorina, the recently ousted chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., is in the running to be the president of the World Bank, a Bush administration official said yesterday..........

"Other names floated for the World Bank job include: John Taylor, the Treasury Department's undersecretary for international affairs; Peter McPherson, former head of Michigan State University who served as Bush's point man on rebuilding Iraq's financial system; and Christine Todd Whitman, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency."

Peter McPherson did a great job during his eight years as Administrator of USAID, and his experience at MSU should give him the background to run an organization as large as the World Bank. It would be nice to see a former Peace Corps Volunteer, with the idealism that implies, running the World Bank!
