Tonight On The CBS Evening News
Here’s an early look at what we are working on for tonight’s broadcast of The CBS Evening News from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric
Hi everyone. I hope you had a great week.
President-elect Obama has said fixing the economy will be his top priority when he takes office in less than two months. Widespread reports say the next administration is forming its economic team - and that Mr. Obama has decided on the most key position, Treasury secretary. Stocks surged in reaction to the rumored pick, New York Federal Reserve President Timothy Geithner. Our Chip Reid has the full story. And for some analysis, I'll talk with Anthony Mason and Bob Schieffer about the economic and political implications of this pick.
Another of Mr. Obama's priorities when he takes office is shifting the military’s focus from Iraq to Afghanistan. This week, our Harry Smith is with the men and women who provide crucial air back-up for soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan, and he'll report tonight for us from the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt.
Newton, Iowa, used to be a thriving Maytag-manufacturing town. But when the plant closed, a desperate economic slump followed … until it discovered alternative energy, and started turning things around. Dean Reynolds has the story of one city's wind-power windfall.
Today's kids seem to have been born with an iPod in their ear and a computer mouse in their hand. But is something missing from their lives? Our science and technology correspondent Daniel Sieberg examines whether being savvy online can make kids clueless about face-to-face communications. Parents, you won't want to miss seeing your kid's brain … on Google.
And for our final story, Steve Hartman heads to the hardwood to meet a college basketball player who’s a freshman … and a senior. Sounds confusing, but you’ll understand when you see him play the game he’d been dreaming about for 52 years.
See you tonight, and have a great weekend!
Katie

Saturday On 48 Hours Mystery
Here’s an early preview from 48 HOURS Correspondent Erin Moriarty about Saturday’s 48 HOURS MYSTERY, The Mortgage And The Murder:
“How do you get your stories?” Viewers ask me that all the time. The case we investigate in this week’s 48 Hours Mystery came to us in a most unconventional way: I was in Columbus, Ohio for a book signing with Paul LaRosa, a producer and co-writer of Death of a Dream. Randy Ohlemacher, an investigator with the state of Ohio, came up to us with an unusual request. Could we investigate the death of his brother in Albuquerque, New Mexico? And that started us on one of the most baffling and strangest investigations that either Paul or I had conducted.
In the summer of 2005, Randy’s brother Greg and sister-in-law Bernadette were shot and killed by an intruder or intruders in their own home. Nothing appeared to be taken from the home….and the killer or killers clearly seemed to know the Ohlemachers’ routine. They were shot with a 9 mm Ruger handgun, police determined, but the weapon was never found. The Ohlemachers’ 20 year old daughter Renee, who was in the house at the time, became the prime suspect, although there was no physical evidence to tie her to the actual shooting. The case went unsolved for nearly a year when, out of the blue, the police made a shocking arrest: the Ohlemachers’ loan officer who had been allegedly arranging a second mortgage for the couple.
Oh, it’s a strange case, alright. Why would a loan officer kill his own clients? It just didn’t make any sense to Randy Ohlemacher which is why he approached Paul and me that night in Columbus, Ohio. And seven months later, we have the story for you!! -Erin Moriarty
(48 HOURS MYSTERY airs Saturday at 10pmET/9CT)

Here's What We've Planned For Sunday Morning
CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
< NOV. SUNDAY, ON ISSUE FOOD ANNUAL ITS UP SERVES MORNING” “SUNDAY NEWS CBS WHEN BURGERS ARTERY-CLOGGING BY AWED BE AND BOURBON KENTUCKY SMOOTH SOME SAMPLE FRIDGE, CHEF’S” “TOP A INSIDE PEEK>EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY!
This weekend, “Top Chef” judge Tom Colicchio opens up his home and his fridge to correspondent Tracy Smith, Martha Teichner celebrates the birth of bourbon and Bill Geist sinks his teeth into a burger that’s simply to die for at Chandler, Arizona’s Heart Attack Grill. All this and more when CBS SUNDAY MORNING serves up its annual food issue, Eat, Drink and Be Merry, anchored by Charles Osgood.
The television show “Top Chef” may have made Tom Colicchio a household name, but the restauranteur was already established as a force in the culinary world long before its inception. Colicchio, who grew up in New Jersey, credits his humble beginnings as the son of a school cafeteria manager and a corrections officer for his success.
In an intimate interview with Smith, he talks about foregoing college to take a series of kitchen jobs that included working at a hotel and a Burger King fast food restaurant. During that time he taught himself the finer points of cooking by reading and studying a book he now calls his bible, Jacques Pepin’s La Technique.
The experience certainly paid off. Colicchio, winner of cooking’s coveted James Beard Award, has become the guru of the simple dish saying, “I think the older you get, you’re a little more confident in your cooking ability and you sort of get rid of the bells and whistles.”
The dishes at the Heart Attack Grill in Arizona are simple enough - simple enough to do some real damage if you over indulge. That may be why they have a “doctor” and “nurses” on hand in the restaurant. Their presence certainly gave Bill Geist the courage to take on the mighty Quadruple Bypass Burger, “8,000 calories of heart-stopping goodness.” The multi-decked burger is a mountain of four beef patties and eight slices of cheese on a bun dipped in lard. Obviously, the only thing healthy here are the portions. This is one establishment that is not for the faint of heart.
Plus, Mo Rocca travels south of the border to Tijuana, Mexico to investigate the origin of the Caesar salad. Seth Doane takes a look at how American eating habits are adapting to changing economic times. And Bob Orr discovers the work of James Parker, who uses kitchen and carpentry tools to transform food into breathtaking pieces of art.
Hungry for more? Tune in to SUNDAY MORNING to enjoy everything food…EAT, DRINK, AND BE MERRY!
