Barbara Walters says that she can identify with the current tribulations of Katie
Couric because she went through a similar experience when she herself left the Today
show to co-anchor ABC's nightly newscast 30 years ago. "I had great difficulties, and it was
a very difficult, unhappy experience," she told Larry King on his CNN talk show Monday
night. "I talked to Katie because Katie and I are friends, and I know that she's
not sorry she left. ... And Katie's going to be fine. She is such a talent. If she wants
to stay in the news, she can. If she wants to come off and do specials. If she wants
to do 60 Minutes. If she wants to replace you in about ten years."
