Last night was the swan song for Katie Couric on "The CBS Evening News".  Still no word on what her plans are.

The retirement of Mary Hart from "Entertainment Tonight" kind of got lost in the shuffle. She's been flashing those insured gams for 29 years on that show.

Add that to the departure Oprah from "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (you would think the WORLD was coming to an end rather than her show), Meredith Vieira on "The Today Show", Suzanne Geha from Channel 8 and soon Judy Markee from Channel 3 and that's a lot of changes all at once.

Happy trails to all.  To quote a favorite passage from my favorite movie "Valley of the Dolls" "

"It's a ROTTEN business, honey."

"I know.  (crying) But I LOVE it!"
