There he is, facing a television screen, calling in Secretary Weinberger or Secretary Shultz, asking "in brief" for a comment on Libya. They oblige...
...many factors go into the ups and downs of ratings. CBS's news-gathering staff is still regarded as the best in depth of talent. In the past year the network has been buffeted by a takeover attempt, an embarrassing libel trial and distracting ideological attacks. The gung-ho Dan Rather believes "all of this has made us tougher, better, more mature." Still, a little anxiety might not hurt...
