If I remember the video I saw of Rather on November 22, 1963, he was hunkering down afraid of additional snipers.
I seem to remember a picture of him during the Tet Offensive just about shaking with fear while reporting.
Note: I have often thought that Rather was proliferating the Kerry propaganda about Vietnam veterans being evildoers and how the NVA and VC were pure warriors seeking goodness and truth. Now I think Kerry has been spreading the Rather propaganda all these years. Does anyone know if Kerry -- who admits to entering Saigon even though under orders not to do so -- ever met Rather in Vietnam?
Did anyone see the 1970s memo yesterday that someone found from Dan Rather about Watergate, Leslie Stahl etc and posted here? In his memo he says deep throat is Diane Sawyer? Anyone see that yesterday. That memos paints the picture of the man then and now.

I'm sure they met afterwards and struck up a close friendship.

Good question...
