Ted Koppel's final broadcast tonight.

Ted Koppel, the "Nightline" anchor and a 42-year veteran of ABC News, will sign off this evening for the last time from the late-night news program.

The broadcast will look back at a three-part series that aired in 1995 and told the story of Morrie Schwartz, a retired sociology professor from Brandeis University who, at the time, was dying of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease.

The series caught the attention of a former student, sportscaster Mitch Albom, who in turn began weekly visits with his professor that led to the national bestseller, "Tuesdays with Morrie."

"In thinking about what to do for a final broadcast, the Morrie interview is certainly among my favorites," Koppel said. "Some of 'Nightline's' most fascinating shows over the years have featured people no one has ever heard of, and Morrie is a perfect example.". . . . . .Full Story
