Rather faces pressure as Cronkite successor at CBS News
Dan Rather says he felt outside pressure to hold CBS Evening News viewership after Walter Cronkite's departure. He stresses that long term coverage quality matters more than superficial fame, while networks spend heavily to promote newscasts. Nelson Algren dies at 72 in Sag Harbor, prompting tributes to the writer. Margaret Lindsay, film actress of the 1930s, dies at 70 in Los Angeles after a long illness. James Michener teases a shorter space program novel, not four million years ago.
