...help an organization trying to legalize marijuana in the state. With this group, I led a team to rural northern Nevada so we could gather enough signatures for the initiative to appear on the ballot. My crack team of volunteers consisted of a failed stand-up comic, an ex-felon who spent the 1990s in California State Penitentiary (a reformed pimp and carjacker), and his girlfriend.

Transplant hospitals keep on staff financial advisers who work with insurance companies, federal and state governments, and even private foundations--which often provide funds...
