'60 Minutes' on Eli Broad: sets the standard for philanthropy *

Morley Safer does the honors on Sunday's episode. The preview by CBS portrays Eli Broad as L.A.'s top philanthropist and arts patron, one who is not shy about putting his name on things.

Eli Broad sets the standard for philanthropy. He's given away over $2 billion and plans on leaving even more to charity before he dies. But along with the billionaire's name, his advice and oftentimes his control are usually part of the deal.
