Rather sets up at Eckerd

Former CBS anchor Dan Rather brings his presidential primary coverage to St. Petersburg Jan. 29, presenting live reporting and analysis of Florida's primary results from Miller Auditorium at Eckerd College for his latest employer, the HD Net high-definition TV channel. So far, the general public won't be admitted to the Eckerd College site, which will hold a select crowd of about 200 people. But fans can watch the coverage or see the channel's Web site at www.hd.net/danrather.html, where the anchor's coverage of New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries is already available.

Correction

In a recent vote to allow a resident to rent its community hall for a political purpose, the Sun City Center Community Association acted within its existing bylaws. A story on Page 3B of Thursday's edition characterized the vote incorrectly.
