Andy Rooney opined about neckties on Sunday's 60 Minutes. "The other night, John Roberts, substituting for Bob Schieffer on the CBS Evening News, came on camera without a necktie. Two other correspondents on the same broadcast, Allen Pizzey and Wyatt Andrews, also appeared with open shirts and no ties. I suppose that John, Allen and Wyatt wanted to look good to a younger audience that doesn't wear neckties -- and doesn't watch the Evening News either, of course," Rooney says...
