    Cecilia has the brains, the looks and the elegance.
    Great decision on the part of 60 Minutes.
    I used to run into her when I worked for Univision in San Francisco and she worked for the San Francisco Chronicle. I asked why she didn’t try TV news. Whatever triggered her decision to cross over, I am glad she did.
