Dan Rather Leaves CBS After 44 Years
TERENCE SMITH, Former NewsHour Correspondent:
Dan Rather, he's been in that chair 20 years, almost 20 years. How long does he want to be in it?
DAN RATHER, Former Host, "CBS Evening News": For as long as I can do it and do it up to my own standards and the standards of CBS News.
You know, Terry, you and I worked together for a long time. I think you know me well enough that what I know and about all I know is to work hard, try hard, trust in hard work, determination, perseverance, and know that the best motto for the long pull is don't grumble, just keep plugging away.
And that's how I feel about this job. I love this job; I love everything about it. I want to do it for as long as my health holds and as long as I can meet our standards. The second either one of those things ceases to be, no one will have to ask me to be out of here.
