- Would she or wouldn't she? After much waffling, 60 Minutes'
- Diane Sawyer finally signed off as a CBS News correspondent and
- segued to rival ABC last week. She was apparently upset, among
- other things, at not getting her own interview-style news
- program. ABC wooed and won her by promising just that, a new
- prime-time show she will co-anchor with Sam Donaldson. Says
- Donaldson of the prospective partnership: "The only way it will
- work is if the co-anchors are together in word, deed and
- spirit, like a marriage -- and not a shotgun marriage either."
- Sawyer will receive a salary of $1.5 million at ABC, up from
- $1.2 million. But even that will not make her ABC's
- highest-paid newswoman. That honor still belongs to 20/20's
- Barbara Walters.
