The September 15 issue of Forbescarries one of its signature stories, this one a list of the 100 "Most Powerful Women" in the world. There are some obvious international business CEOs and heads of state on the list, but also some curiosities. Among the latter are Katie Couric of CBS (# 62), Barbara Walters of ABC (#63), Diane Sawyer of Good Morning America (#65), and Christianne Amanpour of CNN (#91).
Notably missing: Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.
The magazine probably went to bed with this story weeks ago, one supposes. Still.
Minor oversights like this notwithstanding, Forbes remains the best business magazine out there and Steve Forbes' columns on business, finance and politics are essential reading. Publisher Rich Karlgaard is both an insightful businessman and a principled futurist.
