Departure of Dan Rather from CBS's evening newscast represents kind of coda on long, sad song of decline from greatness; news organization that did most to define broadcast news from early days of radio through golden age of television in 1950's and 1960's has gone through marked falloff in last 15 years, probably suffering more than any other network from shrinking of resources that matched its shrinking audience; idea that Rather's decision to give up his anchor job is some kind of signal of final abandonment fo quality news at CBS is challenged by CBS chairman Leslie Moonves and by some staff members at CBS News; argue that Rather's departure after 24 years in anchor chair should be seen as long-needed opportunity for fresh start; Moonves acknowledges that Rather's departure is significant moment for organization that has seen its share of turbulence during his time as anchor; photos (M)

Dan Rather's decision to retire as CBS Evening News anchor is acknowledgment that he cannot fight time or scent of scandal that threatens to mar his legacy and that of his once-vaunted news division; Rather's colleagues see his exit so much like his 42-year career at network: bittersweet, poignant and somewhat mysterious; will leave his post with tumultuous legacy that is uniquely his own and quite unlike those of his younger and more staid network news competitors, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings; photos (M)
