This episode is short (by our standards) but sweet, featuring a conversation with CBS News Coordinating Producer Elizabeth Campbell. Both Bryan Baeta and Larry Warner have worked with Ms. Campbell, and we admire her professionalism and sharp wit in the field. Campbell is quickly becoming a fixture in every major zip code in the country, and we caught up with her just as she dropped anchor in Los Angeles.
