2. It made me realize just what we've had all these years

Dan was underestimated by a lot of people, myself included. I hope he does some real digging now and blows those scumbags out of the water.

5. The Vietnam coverage brought back quite a few memories

He did the best work of all the correspondents on that war. He really got to the heart of the issues, and put human faces on the casualty figures.

6. I'm not sure I get why.

Do you feel he was forced out of the anchor chair?

'cause he is going to be on 60 Minutes now, and he'll do a lot more good there then he did reading a prompter every weeknight.
