FILES-US-CBS-RATHER
(FILES) This 18 October, 2001 file photo shows CBS Anchor Dan Rather at a news conference at CBS studios in New York. After 24 years at the frontlines of journalism in the United States, CBS News anchorman Dan Rather will deliver the evening news for the last time 09 March 2005, six months after apologizing for a error-riddled report critical of US President George W. Bush-s military service. Although Rather, 73, will continue to collaborate with the US network-s "60 Minutes" newsmagazine show as well as with CBS News, his five-decade career will effectively end under the cloud of the September report. The world first glimpsed Rather on 22 November, 1963, when, as a CBS correspondent in Dallas, Texas, he reported the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Since then the square-jawed, deep-voiced Rather has been on the frontlines of the world-s most important events, from the war in Vietnam to last year-s presidential elections.His scoops include interviewing Saddam Hussein shortly before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, US President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal, and President Bill Clinton while he was being investigated in the Monica Lewinsky affair. In 1981, the native Texan inherited the anchor-s chair at CBS Evening News from Walter Cronkite, the newsman who created the mold of a globe-trotting reporter-presenter and made the evening news an American institution.
