Journalist and former CBS news anchor Dan Rather talks about his biography "Rather Outspoken: My Life In The News". He discusses many of the big stories in his career; from covering a Martin Luther King rally as a young reporter and witnessing first hand the horrors of the Ku Klux Klan; to the assassination of John F. Kennedy; Richard Nixon and Watergate; George Bush Senior and the Iran-Contra affair, and his dismissal from CBS for reporting of George W. Bush's limited National Guard Service; to his emotional appearance on David Letterman after 9/11.
