Veteran CBS journalist Bob Schieffer announced Wednesday he will retire this summer.
Schieffer, 78, has spent 46 years with CBS, and has anchored Face the Nation for 24. He shared the news at the annual Schieffer Symposium at his alma mater, Texas Christian University. "It's been a great adventure," he said. "You know, I'm one of the luckiest people in the world because as a little boy, as a young reporter, I always wanted to be a journalist, and I got to do that. ... I couldn't have asked for a better life or something that was more fun and more fulfilling."
