you worked evening news until 73, morley safer, mike wallace until 88. in later years walter cronkite sort of regretted he left at 65. was he pushed out too soon by the system? >> first of all, i know there's a lot of misunderstanding about this, he wasn't pushed out at the time. i know this because i talked to him about it and told him straightforwardly, if you don't want to go, not ready to go, he interrupted me mid sentence and said, dan, you don't understand. i can't wait to get out of here. the reason as his long time aide said, he wanted to go out as a champ, on top. who can blame him for wanting to do that. and he chose the time. he didn't have to go at that time and he knew, but he wanted to get out. what happened is once he got out, he said he wanted to sale and spend his own time. but after a few months, i do think that he regretted it. he felt he had left too soon, which i think is fairly normal for a lot of people who leave different high-profile jobs. but no doubt he wanted to go out at that time. he felt it was the right time. the game was changing. television n
