E! Online makes an interesting point: When Ted Koppel announced his decision to leave Nightline, David Westin said it would happen “at the end of his current contract, which expires on December 4th of this year.”

But instead, the veteran ABC newsman will sign off “in time for Thanksgiving turkey with his family.” E! says “his decision to make an early exodus comes as something of a surprise to many in the news biz.”
