I like Ann Curry. She appears to be bright, friendly, pretty and smart. On big-time network TV, appearances are very important.
This weekend, our friend, Ann, is picking up some spending money by speaking at the commencement exercises at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass. After taking the stage to launch into the school's 175th commencement address, she sought to drive home the inspirational content of her speech by ticking off the names of a few of the school's more illustrious alums. Among the entries on the Curry honor roll: "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl, evangelist Billy Graham, slasher-film director Wes Craven, and United Airlines Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer. There was just one problem: Apart from Stahl, everyone on that list actually graduated from another Wheaton College, the Christian liberal-arts college in Wheaton, Illinois.
Whoops! Right speech...wrong school?
