Rooney & Safer In No Hurry To Retire

Mike Wallace is “retiring,” but the “next two eldest 60 Minute-men” have “no intention of going gentle into that night anytime soon,” Gail Shister reports.

“I won’t go unless they ask me to,” Andy Rooney says. “I don’t think they will. I still seem to be able to think of something to say.

Morley Safer says “I have no desire to put my feet up. Why would I? Find me something to do as challenging and fun as this, and I would go in a minute. I can’t think of it yet… but it probably will have nothing to do with this broadcast or with television.” It’s a great column…
