Atul Gawande article and Whose Freedom?

Atul Gawande has a new article in the New Yorker about using checklists to save lives which is just really amazing.

Also finished reading George Lakoff's Whose Freedom?, another liberal linguistic exploration of how the conservative movement has subjugated popular terminology, in this case freedom and liberty. It's a good book, defining freedom as having uncontested parts and contested shades of grey, and how liberals can defend and advance their definition of freedom. After reading Talking Right though, this felt a little redundant.
