"OUTSOURCING" JOBS OF ELITES

It's hapening as the jobs of corporate lawyers go overseas to cheaper firms. Right now it's only DuPont but many large corporations are ready to take the leap. The article is in today's Business Week online:

Howard, I think this is mostly a worry for corporate lawyers.

The real nasty private sector lawyers should be OK.
