March 14, 1981: Howard Rosenberg, The Times Pulitzer Prize-winning TV critic, watches Dan Rather’s debut in taking over from Walter Cronkite on the “CBS Evening News” and he is not a happy man. Art Seidenbaum and I overlapped at The Times, but I was a rookie and he was one of the senior writers at the paper, so I never introduced myself when I would see him in the hallway or (usually) smoking a cigarette somewhere. I regret that now because I enjoy reading him and he sounds quite approachable. The book he's reviewing, Bill Henderson's "His Son: A Child of the Fifties" may not be remembered now (it ranks 9.3 millionth at Amazon), but Art's insights are well worth reading. |

I am just curious, but what pages did the story on Dan Rather appear? What section was it in?
I would appreciate this. I am writing a book and there is a portion on Rather that is “rather” biting, and this story backs me up 100%. I would love to source it, but I don’t have access to the LA Times archives like you do.
Thanks!

@Ronald — Rosenberg wrote for Calendar and that was a cover piece.
