I think what made him resign is the current stress of the job and his age. He's going to be 80 soon, I can't imagine doing what he does at that age.

I know - and when I typed in rather - dan - and the - dan rather - it kept yielding no results. Then I went back in the threads since the middle of Aug. and could not find it. Oh Well!!!!!

But, yes, I think at 80, he deserves to retire, etc. I will miss him. He is the last vestige IMO of the old cigarettes and coffee journalists who really did not play it for the soundbyte especially when compared to what we have today, which are mostly just IMP pale shadows. But, every now and then another good one pops up like K. Armenpour (sp.?) - who appears to be widely respected if not liked.
