(Paul D. Wolfowitz ). Retrieved December 7, 2008.〕 He is a leading neoconservative. As Deputy Secretary of Defense, he was "a major architect of President Bush's Iraq policy and ... its most hawkish advocate".〔Peter J.

After serving two years, he resigned as president of the World Bank Group due to scandals described by a Reuters report as "a protracted battle over his stewardship, prompted by his involvement in a high-paying promotion for his companion".〔("Statements of Executive Directors and President Wolfowitz" ), ''World Bank Group'', May 17, 2007, accessed May 17, 2007.〕〔Matthew Jones, ("Wolfowitz Exit Seen Clearing Way for Progress" ), ''Reuters'' (UK), May 18, 2007, accessed May 18, 2007.〕 ==Personal history== The second child of Jacob Wolfowitz (1910–1981) and Lillian Dundes, Paul Wolfowitz was born in Brooklyn, New York, into a Polish Jewish immigrant family, and grew up mainly in Ithaca, New York, where his father was a professor of statistical theory at Cornell University.〔Suzanne Goldenberg, ("Guardian Profile: Paul Wolfowitz" ), ''The Guardian'', April 1, 2005, accessed May 1, 2007.〕〔David Dudley, ("Paul's Choice" ), ''Cornell Alumni Magazine Online'' 107.1 (July/August 2004), accessed May 17, 2007.〕 Strongly influenced by his father, Paul Wolfowitz became "a soft-spoken former aspiring-mathematician-turned-policymaker ... () world views ... were forged by family history and in the halls of academia rather than in the jungles of Vietnam or the corridors of Congress ... (father ) ... escaped Poland after World War I. The rest of his father's family perished in the Holocaust."〔Eric Schmitt, ("The Busy Life of Being a Lightning Rod for Bush" ), ''The New York Times'', April 22, 2002, accessed March 24, 2008.〕 In the mid-1960s, while they were both undergraduate students at Cornell, he met Clare Selgin, who later became an anthropologist. They married in 1968, had three children, lived in Chevy Chase, Maryland. They separated in 1999, and, according to some sources, became legally separated in 2001 and divorced in 2002.〔〔John Cassidy, ("The Next Crusade: Paul Wolfowitz at the World Bank" ), online posting, ''The New Yorker'', April 9, 2007, accessed May 7, 2007.〕 In late 1999, Wolfowitz began dating Shaha Ali Riza.
