LA Times' Steve Lopez Speaks at USC Annenberg Commencement
The inspiring and occasionally hilarious Points West columnist delivered the commencement address to graduating undergrads and graduate students of USC's Annenberg School of Journalism (and Strategic Public Relations) on Friday.

we were definitely lucky to have S.Lo deliver speech. I meant to ask him if he got another Giuseppe Franco makeover (www.latimes.com/news/local/politics/cal/la-me-lopez5nov05,0,1612332,full.column) just for the occasion but he was out of there too quick.
Caught the end of Ted Koppel's speech for USC's entire graduating class and was disappointed in how safe and lame it appeared to be. Not so with Lopez, who described Tribune's new owner as looking like a fired Santa's helper.

I was over at the Comm tent ... damn! I wish I'd seen this one. Glad you filmed it, Andy!
