Procter & Gamble's Susan Arnold joins some of the country's top female executives on Fortune magazine's 50 most Powerful Women listing. Ms. Arnold, 52, vice chairwoman, beauty and health, for Cincinnati-based Procter ranked 10th on the list, according to a Fortune news release, moving up from 17th last year.
