"I asked Rush what year he planned on running, and he said, `I couldn't afford the pay cut,' " Ailes told People magazine. The conservative talk-show host and best-selling author could be a real heavyweight as a Republican candidate - perhaps as early as 1996 - given his popularity and name-recognition, says Ailes, who gave media advice to Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George Bush. But Ailes adds, "It's nothing that should terrorize the liberals - yet."
John Chancellor's 43-year career at NBC News ended Friday when the network aired his last commentary.
"It was an honor to be a guest in your home," Chancellor said during his final remarks, taped Wednesday in Boston. "It's not the end of an era, just the end of my era. I've sort of outlived the culture at NBC."
Chancellor, 65, was a foreign correspondent for NBC, covered wars and 20 political conventions and anchored 2,860 network broadcasts before becoming a commentator 10 years ago.
He and his wife, Barbara, plan to live in Princeton, N.J., because of "good train service" and "a great library." He plans to write books, including one about television, politics and life in America.
