Peter Jennings has been encouraged by David Westin and Jon Banner “to come in and reclaim the anchor chair on any night he feels up to it, with as little as 45 minutes’ notice,” Jacques Steinberg reports. “He’s e-mailing; he’s suggesting stories,” Banner said. “Quite frankly, I think some of my colleagues might be surprised at how he’s getting involved in scripts.”
