"60 Minutes" veteran Mike Wallace is wimping out and retiring as a regular correspondent.
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."No stamina, I tell ya. They just don't make 'em like they used to.
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.
