Reluctant Rather Is Set to Sign Off

Reluctant Rather Is Set to Sign Off :

"After months at the center of a media storm and years as one of the most polarizing figures on the American news scene, Dan Rather will sign off this week as anchor of 'CBS Evening News.' But to paraphrase one of his homespun Rather-isms, don't bet the trailer money that he'll disappear.

'I'm not retiring, I'm changing jobs,' the 73-year-old newsman insisted in a phone interview. Still, his voice caught when he was asked what he could yet do in his career to make viewers forget about his role in a flawed story last year on President Bush's military service.
