Rather Outspoken : My Life In the News
Library Journal Rather hits all the high points of his career—including 44 years at CBS, 24 as anchor of CBS News—while also touching on his dismissal from CBS and profiling the people he has worked with or interviewed. Even more interesting (to me), he considers the crucial issue of where the news industry stands today […]
