Editing Dan Rather (section)

=== Chicago cab ride ===
On November 10, 1980, Rather landed at Chicago's [[O'Hare International Airport]] and got into a cab. He asked the cab driver to take him to the home of writer [[Studs Terkel]], whom he was interviewing for ''60&nbsp;Minutes''. A police spokesman said that the cab driver refused to go to the address and instead "wildly drove through the city streets," with Rather shouting out the window asking for help. The driver was charged with disorderly conduct. Rather called the incident "a rather minor thing". By the time the case was about to come to trial, he was about to add anchoring the ''CBS Evening News'' to his ''60 Minutes'' role at CBS News. Rather declined to press charges, citing a "mounting schedule of reporting assignments".<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=The New York Times
