Modify the code for the story.module.

Specifically, edit line number 32, thusly:

  return array('create stories', 'edit own stories');

to something like:

  return array('create stories', 'edit own stories', 'edit any stories');

And add something like the following to the story_access() function:

  if ($op == 'update' || $op == 'delete') {
    if (user_access('edit any stories')) {
      return TRUE;
    }
  }

Disclaimer:  The above is UNTESTED code for the 4.6.5 version!
