 | | Lesley Stahl was born on December 16, 1941, in the seaside town of Swampscott, Massachusetts. |
 | | Lesley's childhood was happy and idyllic, but junior high and high school were difficult; college, she says, is where she was "born intellectually." At Wheaton College, in Norton, Massachusetts, Lesley majored in science; she graduated summa cum laude in 1963. |
 | | Lesley landed her first job in 1968, as a writer-researcher for the Nixon-McGovern presidential campaign, for NBC News. |
