- <p> On the first night, there was touch--a gentle pat, a Dan-and-Connie
- hand sandwich. On the second, a series of gushy schoolboy glances.
- Was the DAN RATHER--CONNIE CHUNG co-anchorship really just
- the CBS Evening News with Regis and Kathie Lee? TV critics didn't
- warm to all the initial cuteness. And they particularly didn't
- warm to the pair's inaugural-night sign-off. "Goodnight, Chet,"
- said Connie. "Goodnight, David," replied Dan, a nod to another
- network's historic news team. The Washington Post's Tom Shales
- described the interchange as unnecessarily "impish." Harsh,
- given that Shales' profile of Chung (which had run 24 hours
- earlier) implied that he had given her the idea for the corny
- so-long in the first place.
