Who's There
Less star power, more political power. That's the shape of things at this year's annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The current economic crisis has taken a toll on the 2009 guest list with fewer Wall Street kingpins and activist celebrity types on hand. Many Wall Street stars, such as former Merrill Lynch boss John Thain, Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein and Citigroup’s Vikram Pandit have canceled. So did musician/activist Bono. Angelina Jolie won't be there, either. Cancellations aside, there will be some bold-face names in the crowd. Click ahead for the faces of Davos.
