Power play

There's only one UK citizen I can find in the new Forbes list of the "world's" most powerful women.  The Queen.  They don't quite get constitutional monarchy...

Tina Brown, at Number 34, is now a US citizen, though started writing at Oxford University. Arianna Huffington, at Number 28, is also a US citizen, born in Athens as Arianna Stassinopoulos. She found a taste for wheeling and dealing at Cambridge University, where, in the process of winning the post of Union President, she became known, unkindly, as "the face that lunched a thousand shits".

There are two Yanks living in London on the list. Marjorie Scardino of Pearson is at Number 63, and Angela Ahrendts of Burberry is at Number 97.


Now to find out who the judges were...
