Bob Schieffer to retire next January
The New York Times reports that Bob Schieffer, CBS News reporter and 17-year host of "Face of the Nation," will retire next January.
Schieffer, who will turn 72 next year, provided stability to a newscast, and news division, jolted by the abrupt departure of Dan Rather, who had been its public face for three decades, according to the Times.
