Wolfowitz went public, one thing was certain: Riza and her relationship with Wolfowitz would be the center of attention. Surprisingly uncertain was how the press would describe her. Here are just a few of the myriad media titles for Riza:
Washington Post-- "girlfriend"
New York Times-- "companion"
Baltimore Sun-- "longtime romantic partner"
Financial Times, London-- "a bank official with whom [Wolfowitz] was romantically involved"
Irish Times-- "partner"
