		The Group's headquarters are in Washington, D.C. The World Bank Group is presently headed by president (1995–2005) James D. Wolfensohn, who is president of the IBRD as well as the four affiliated institutions.
		Though repeatedly relied upon by impoverished governments around the world as a contributor of development finance, the World Bank is often and primarily criticised by opponents of corporate "neo-colonial" globalization.
		The World Bank (and its sister organization, the International Monetary Fund) is a closed system; that is, the decision-making processes are shielded from those who, in fact, fund the projects: primarily the taxpayers in the member nations.

	1997 World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1997 World Series was widely regarded as one of the most exciting Series in recent memory.
		This was third time in the 1990s that the World Series-winning run was scored on the final at-bat (as was the case in 1991 and 1993).
		Unless you count the 1995 World Series (which was broadcast under the short-lived revenue sharing joint-venture The Baseball Network), then the 1997 World Series marked the first time that NBC televised a World Series in 9 years (the last being in 1988).

		Many believe that the name World Series is American hype or arrogance, but the truth is that the Series was named after the New York World newspaper who sponsored the title games in the early part of the century.
		The "Temple Cup" championship series, as it became known, was held for the four years between 1894 and 1897, after which a lack of fan interest resulted in its termination and the return of the cup to its donor.
		When the World Series between the National and American leagues began in 1903, the owners borrowed the name from the world championship series held in the 1880s between the National League and the American Association.

		The Yankees had also made it to the 1926 World Series (but lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games), and this photograph of the 1926 team includes almost the entire 1927 lineup.
		The series was financially and popularly successful, but the arrangement to play was informal, depending only upon an agreement by the teams involved.
		Prompted by the outcry, baseball's National Commission officially established the World Series in 1905.

		This was the first World Series in which a team's general manager (Cleveland's John Hart) fielded a question in the interview room before the deciding game about whether his cleanup hitter required psychological testing.
		While everyone talked about Atlanta's unfulfilled world championship quest starting with the torturous 1991 World Series, the time line actually began in the summer of 1987: Starting in July the Braves called up shortstop Jeff Blauser from the minor leagues, traded pitcher Doyle Alexander for Smoltz and promoted Glavine to the majors.
		Only two other World Series ended so late in the year—Daylight Savings Time ended just after the game—and those were delayed by a strike (1981) and an earthquake ('89).

	The Sporting News: Baseball History of the World Series
		While the 1992 World Series between the Braves and Toronto Blue Jays might have fallen just short of equaling the 1991 Series for sheer excitement, it was real close.
		This time, the Series participants engaged in four one-run games out of the six -- and the decisive game was an 11-inning thrill-o-rama that for taut drama would be difficult to top.
		Another pinch-hitter, Francisco Cabrera, tried to match his NL Championship Series heroics -- it was his two-run single that enabled the Braves to sew up the NL flag -- and he sent a scorching line drive to left field.

		He must watch Wohlers face the oh-so-dangerous top of Cleveland's batting order in the ninth while the World Series title, the Braves' first in 38 years, is so close at hand it has the tangible shape of Carlos Baerga's game-ending fly ball to center.
		It's nearly no-hit, too, in what probably is the season's second-most important game, the World Series opener, when Greg Maddux confounds 28 of the 30 hitters he faces, excepting only Thome and Kenny Lofton, who single, in a complete game victory.
		The best-hitting team in baseball, and it hits.179 in the World Series against Glavine, against Maddux, against Steve Avery and against John Smoltz and the Braves' bullpen.

		The Braves returned to the World Series after just a two-year absence, while the Indians reached their first Fall Classic since 1954.
		But Game 4 was a repeat of Game 2, as this time Braves left-hander Steve Avery contributed six frames of three-hit ball, David Justice tossed in a two-run single, and Atlanta took a commanding Series lead with their 5-3 victory.
		That was all the Braves would score, and it was all they would need, as Tom Glavine allowed just one hit in eight innings, and Mark Wohlers pitched a perfect ninth to seal Atlanta's Championship.

		When the Yankees and Marlins begin their World Series showdown in the Bronx on Saturday night, it will mark the fourth straight season the Fall Classic doesn't involve the Braves.
		The 1995 World Series was one in which the Braves' formidable starting rotation was forced to neutralize a mighty Indians offense that had hit.291 with 207 home runs in the strike-shortened, 144-game regular season.
		But the fact that the Braves had easily slipped by the Rockies in the Division Series and swept the Reds in the National League Championship Series gave Greg Maddux, Glavine, John Smoltz and Steve Avery the opportunity to be at full strength when their showdown against the Indians began.

		Their opponents, the Cleveland Indians were 2-1 in Series play and had not made a final postseason appearance in a staggering forty-one years.
		Cleveland's Kenny Lofton dominated the baselines with a record, six stolen bases in Game 6, but was unable to beat Tom Glavine's change-up, that vanquished five Indian pitchers, for the 1-0 victory and their third World Series title.
