Rather pins attacker as William Tager in 1986 assault
Dan Rather names William Tager as the man who punched him on Park Avenue in 1986. A forensic psychiatrist linked Tager to the NBC stagehand killing outside the Today show in 1994, a case that fueled the REM song What’s the Frequency Kenneth. Rather identified Tager from photos supplied by the New York Daily News and described the confrontation on Park Avenue.
