I asked him if Katie Couric could do as good a job.

He said, "CBS thinks she will."

"The question was: Do you think she could?"

Dan said, "In time, I think she will. It took her 15 years to make the 'Today' show a hit. I'm sure it will take her longer than that to beat Charlie Gibson and Brian Williams."

I asked, "Is it accidental that you and Mike Wallace are leaving at the same time?"

Rather said, "We were the great ones. Mike and I will go down in history with Walter Cronkite and Maury Povich."

When I called back to CBS, they said the last they'd seen of Dan Rather, he was flying down outside the 30th-floor window of the CBS building.
