What happens when you bring in a new manager to cut costs

From today's Times:

"Mr. Lopez's exertions to cut costs were legendary in Detroit. When GM was teetering on the edge of financial disaster in the early 1990's, he had his aides, and even their spouses made a point of wearing their wristwatches on their right wrists and vowing not to move them back until GM was profitable. In a city that revers red meat and junk food, MR. Lopez turned heads by requiring that his aides live on a "warrior's diet" of fruit, whole-grain products, as little meat as possible and no alcohol except an occasional wine."

Apparently just taking away that red meat and alcohol was enough to turn GM around. Incidentally GM is currently trying to extradite him back to the US from the Basque (terrorist) region of Spain.

They are planning a barbecue.
