Well...not everyone is a Lloyd Blankfein. For us lesser mortals, something like this IS a big deal :-)

As far as I know, I don't think she's quit yet. There are talks going on and she is likely to leave, but I don't think notice has been handed in yet...

Wow ! Is Dorothy quitting ? that would be sad. She was the face of CAM in Chennai and highly regarded and respected. How did CAM let go of her ? Am sure JSA/Khaitan will be waiting to rope her in !
