1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPope Leo has been cleared to travel to South America after lung cancer surgery, and we wish him well.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe trip runs November sixth to the seventeenth, Uruguay, Argentina and Peru. CBS News calls it particularly grueling, and the BBC says it's going ahead.

3. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThree countries in eleven days. That's a tour announcement, and the dates dropped with no teaser at all.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCan I just say, the schedule isn't packed, it's fully used. A tight itinerary shows a clear commitment to three nations.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFully used. So who's handling the connections between Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Lima?

6. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody's said, Chip, but I'd bet the Vatican has someone who handles that. Probably a whole department.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish. A cleared trip with three countries is a very strong announcement, and I'd call it a confidence rollout.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA rollout. Is there a way for regular folks to follow along?

9. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThree countries, no encore.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Pile-On: Late is back same time tomorrow, and Kenji, that was funny, which I resent.
