Bob Schieffer, who ends his stint as interim anchor of "CBS Evening News" this evening, recently partnered with a composer to set a few of of his poems to music, reports
Matea Gold. He's met with a music industry exec and hopes to get the songs recorded in Nashville. Gold says Schieffer considered retiring in February on his 70th birthday, but CBS asked him to stay on through the 2008 election, which he'll probably do.
