NEW YORK (AP) - Mike Wallace, the hard-driving reporter who has been with "60 Minutes" since its start in 1968, said Tuesday he will retire as a regular correspondent on the show this spring.
A television news legend who was the last person an accused wrongdoer would want to see on his doorstep, Wallace said he'll still do occasional reports for the show. CBS News President Sean McManus referred to him as a "correspondent emeritus."
Wallace, 87, has often said he'll retire "when my toes turn up.
"Well, they're just beginning to curl a trifle, which means that, as I approach my 88th birthday, it's become apparent to me that my eyes and ears, among other appurtenances, aren't quite what they used to be," he said.
Another blowhard that believed HE KNEW what the REAL news was, and how to explain it to all us LITTLE people. He never presented both sides of any issue only the angle he wanted to promote. At the end of your career when people had a choice of where to get their news they chose not to watch you. As you fade away you still can't see why. LOL
