Giveaway: Audiobook of Dan Rather's new memoir

Giveaway time!

This time it's an unabridged audiobook of Dan Rather's new memoir, "Rather Outspoken."

Rather was the anchor of the "CBS Evening News" for 24 years.  In the memoir, he tells the story of his final months at CBS, including his removal from the anchor chair in the wake of the controversy surrounding his story on George Bush and the Texas Air National Guard. 

Rather, who reported from wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan and covered every U.S. president since Dwight Eisenhower, looks over his entire career and his upbringing in Houston, Texas.

The audiobook is read by Rather and a PDF of photos is included on one CD.

If you're interested, send me an email by midnight Friday (include your mailing address, please) and someone will be selected randomly.

ABC News anchor Charles Gibson signs off

Tonight's 6:30 national news on ABC ws the final broadcast of Charles "Charlie" Gibson.

It was a weeklong goodbye, as Gibson said, "you may have heard a time or 6", with Gibson on each broadcast since Monday, sharing different memories of his long farewell.

Gibson, you'll remember, came in to the anchor job when ABC News was in trouble. The network had replaced the late, great Peter Jennings with two anchors -- Bob Woodruff and Elizabeth Vargas in 2006. But Woodruff was badly injured by an IED in Iraq, and Vargas got pregnant, and had to take a leave. In disarray, ABC pulled Gibson off of "Good Morning America," a gig, ironically, that was supposed to be temporary for he and Diane Sawyer.
