<p> Would she or wouldn't she? After much waffling, 60 Minutes'
Diane Sawyer finally signed off as a CBS News correspondent and
segued to rival ABC last week. She was apparently upset, among
other things, at not getting her own interview-style news
program. ABC wooed and won her by promising just that, a new
prime-time show she will co-anchor with Sam Donaldson. Says
Donaldson of the prospective partnership: "The only way it will
work is if the co-anchors are together in word, deed and
spirit, like a marriage -- and not a shotgun marriage either."
Sawyer will receive a salary of $1.5 million at ABC, up from
$1.2 million. But even that will not make her ABC's
highest-paid newswoman. That honor still belongs to 20/20's
Barbara Walters.
