I spent much of the past week in Washington DC, where I managed to sneak in an evening tour of the monuments and a quick visit of the Newseum (highly recommended!). Have a listen to Afternoon Delight from the cast of Anchorman (featured exhibit at the Newseum) while perusing this week's tweets: on nonprofits, philanthropy, governance and social enterprises:
