I'm 59, four years from retirement and plan to sell and move to a smaller house in New Mexico...
...television news today than it was when I started. There is no question about it, and the pay is better. It will be interesting to see--now that Dan [Rather] has left, and Tom [Brokaw] has left, and Peter [Jennings] is off at least temporarily--after the all-male anchor troika, whether any of those people are replaced by women...
