CBS News is reporting that Dan Rather has positively identified the man who
attacked him on Park Avenue in 1986. Apparently, the man shot an NBC
television technician not long ago and is in custody for that attack. 

The Daily News has a huge front-page headline that reads "What's the
Frequency?" over a picture of Rather. 

Anyway, the News says that the suspect is William Tager, 49. 

"'There is no doubt in my mind that this is the person,' said Rather. 

"Tager, 49, convinced that the media had him under surveillance and were
beaming hostile messages at him constantly, demanded that Rather tell him the
frequency being used to transmit the messages...

Apparently, Tager was not stalking Rather but accidentally encountered him.

Tager shot and killed NBC television technician at Rockefeller Center in
1994. At that time, the News reports that Tager said that "rays were coming
on top of him and vibrations came out of the TV." He was found incompetent to
participate in his defense and was sentenced to 12 1/2 to 25 years.
