Coming soon: An LATFC Checklist, Part 2: Kaye Sweetser Demonstrates Item #12

This is a thought provoking checklist. I am a fan of checklists. And coincidentally read recently in the New Yorker an article about how a simple checklist might be able to save thousands and lives and dollars in intensive care units (perhaps a prescient read should these trips to the Eatery land you in ICU). http://tinyurl.com/2ctzrt
BUT, did Hugh Martin use a checklist of some sort when he was rescuing Europeans from crashing American test planes or whatever? The things we miss by not eating there!!!
Actually I think his cheery little talk started with the emergency room article you referenced. It segued into the origin of the checklist (crashing test planes because someone forgot to flip a switch or something).
More to the point, why has no one commented on my masterful use of html to create the checklist? I skipped ahead to Day 9 in Hollander's book on learning HTML in 14 days. Yet our faithful readers are completely unimpressed. Well, back to the lemon bars.
