...impetus for change can come from any member of the staff. At the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula in Calif., for instance, Joy Colangelo, an occupational therapist, helped launch the "Green Team" about six months ago. The team's first task was to do a "waste audit" in order to tally unnecessary expenditures, says Colangelo. She found that the hospital's heart department was churning out 20 pages of patient-identification labels per patient, but using only...
...Thursday night, Treasury's interim chief investment officer of the $700 billion bailout fund, Jim Lambright, and his team of crisis managers hunkered down with representatives of GM and Chrysler and worked all night to finalize the details of the deal. The result does its best to impose order on what would otherwise be the disorderly bankruptcies of the two companies, but in many regards it just passes the buck to Obama.

...California, some gay activists are planning to put marriage on the 2010 ballot so that Proposition 8 - which (thanks partly to Warren's support) passed last month, banning marriage equality in the state - can be undone. Gays will need to reach older, religious, and African-American voters in order to overturn Prop. 8 (those three groups all voted disproportionately for it). If gays hoped that President Obama would help, they may want to reconsider...
