World Economic Forum Opens in NYC
..................................

NEW YORK (AP) - While many of the world's most prominent business and
political leaders convene to discuss the planet's biggest problems,
protesters opposed to globalization are taking to Manhattan's streets amid a
heavy police presence.

The World Economic Forum was opening Thursday morning, kicking off five days
of planned talks on everything from reducing poverty to boosting security in
the post-Sept. 11 world. Even as the 3,000 or so participants gathered,
though, the sidelights that have come to mark international financial
gatherings were in evidence: police in riot gear, rerouted traffic, concrete
barriers around the host hotel.
