“April Is Our Month Of Decision” For 60 Minutes Wednesday, Rather Says

Dan Rather is “very happy” after leaving the CBS Evening News chair. “So many people told me how difficult it was going to be, that I’d feel terrible for two weeks to two years. That has not happened in any way, shape or form,” he tells Gail Shister. Rather now plans to “plunge hard” into 60 Minutes Wednesday: “April is our month of decision. We need to do well. We need to prove we’re valuable to the schedule.”
