The Way It Will Be: Walter Cronkite (right) and Dan Rather posed together on February 11 following the announcement that Rather will succeed Cronkite as anchor of "The CBS Evening News" early next year. Cronkite, 63, expressed his desire to step away from the "day-to-day grind" to focus on in-depth reporting and special assignments, including a new science series. Rather, 40, will continue to serve as one of the principal editors on CBS's "60 Minutes" until the transition is finalized.
