TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Here’s an early look at what we are working on from Anchor and Managing Editor of The CBS Evening News, Katie Couric
Hi everyone,
A Wall Street shocker: Just when it looked as though the stock market had stabilized, Wall Street was hit with a late-day sell-off, with the Dow plunging by hundreds of points in the final hour of trading. What happened? And when will it stop? Anthony Mason explains what's going on.
Meanwhile, with just 13 days until Election Day, we'll have the very latest from the campaign trail. Dean Reynolds is in Leesburg, Virginia, with Barack Obama's campaign - and says the candidate did something very different today. And Chip Reid is on the road with John McCain.
Also tonight, we'll show you the next installment of our special series on the character of the candidates. I'll ask Senators Obama and McCain about their opponent's strengths - and weaknesses - and about the last time they cried. You won't want to miss what they had to say in Presidential Questions.
Next tonight, two serious medical reports you need to hear - about your health. First, there was a huge spike in the number of people who died or fell seriously ill due to problems with prescription drugs during the first three months of this year. And two drugs, Chantix and Heparin, account for many of the problems. Investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has the story.
And the CDC reports a sharp increase in the reported number of American children with food allergies. Reactions to everyday foods have increased 18 percent over the past decade. Dr. Jon LaPook will join me to explain what this development means.
Finally: As the economy strips Americans' purchase power - we'll reintroduce a retail blast … from the past.
See you tonight, Katie
