 | (CBS) QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Forgiveness is the healing of wounds caused by another. You choose to let go of a past wrong and no longer be hurt by it. Forgiveness is a strong move to make, like turning your shoulders sideways to walk quickly on a crowded sidewalk. It's your move. "
-Real Live Preacher

TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Here’s an early look at one of the stories we are working on for tonight’s broadcast from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric
Hi everyone. I hope you had a great week.
It's certainly been a momentous past few days for our country. Today, Barack Obama held his first press conference as President-elect, and said we are facing "the greatest economic challenge of our lifetime." Chip Reid will take a close look at how Mr. Obama handled the press conference - and have the latest on his transition to power. Also, Bob Schieffer and Anthony Mason will join us from Washington to provide some analysis.
The economic news keeps getting worse. The government reported today that unemployment is at a 14-year high of 6.5 percent. Last month, another 240,000 jobs disappeared. On top of that, both Ford and GM reported major losses. Anthony Mason also reports on the slumping economy and Cynthia Bowers explains what's going on with the imploding American auto industry.
But even as job losses soar, there are some fields of work that are virtually recession-proof. Mark Strassmann looks at where you can find a job…in some industries that are growing, not shrinking.
Finally tonight: Strike up the band! For this week's Assignment America, we'll show you a fearless marching band … that sees no obstacles.
See you tonight! Katie

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 10pmET/9CT
Here’s a preview of what you can expect to see Saturday night on 48 HOURS MYSTERY: VEGAS HEAT from Correspondent Peter Van Sant :
Two Vegas hard bodies’ hard partying ways end in an unthinkable murder and the downfall of a fitness powerhouse. Craig Titus and his wife Kelly Ryan were two of the biggest stars of the body building world. The duo - he, a Mr. Olympia competitor and she, a fitness champion - won numerous competitions and graced magazine covers. Titus even trained Motley Crue lead singer, Vince Neil, who admits to 48 Hours Mystery , that Titus used steroids and injected him with them. And steroids were not Titus' only drug of choice. These Las Vegas hard bodies were also hard partiers, known for using illegal drugs and pain killers.
But all that changed on Dec. 14, 2005, when the charred corpse of a young woman was discovered in Ryan's burned out car on a Las Vegas desert road. The unrecognizable body was initially thought to be Ryan, but authorities were stunned when they arrived to the couple's house only to be greeted by her at the door. The body was that of their live-in assistant Melissa James. And soon police pieced together the web of fame, sex, drugs and jealousy that ended in this brutal murder, a gruesome cover up and the downfall of a fitness powerhouse.
Now, in a 48 Hours Mystery exclusive, family, friends, detectives and witnesses each shed light on this shocking story. And, for the first time, shamed body builder Craig Titus tells his side of what happened the night James died, insisting to 48 Hours Mystery that is wasn't murder. "She OD'd. She'd been shooting drugs for days…I never intended to kill Melissa James, murder Melissa James."
And thanks for watching 48 HOURS MYSTERY on CBS…

HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUNDAY MORNING
CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
VETERANSThey say that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but this is one story that deserves to be told. For more than a year now, our country’s attention has been dominated by the Presidential election, the ups and downs of Wall Street and our faltering economy. While we’ve been focused on these domestic issues, the fact that more than 100,000 Americans are still fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan has largely disappeared from the headlines. Tuesday is Veteran’s Day, and to honor that holiday, Seth Doane takes us to Las Vegas, where one of the richest men in the world is on a mission to make our troops a priority again. And he’s doing it by treating hundreds of wounded war veterans to a once-in-a-lifetime, all expenses paid vacation to Sin City.

007: JAMES BOND Fifty six years after Ian Fleming wrote his first James Bond novel, another Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, is coming to town. What accounts for Bond’s enduring popularity?

Anthony Mason gets the scoop from one of his wartime female colleagues, takes a ride in the original Bond car - a 1930 Bentley - and hears from the latest James Bond star, actor Daniel Craig, about Fleming’s legacy.
OPINION Nancy Giles on Barack Obama.
BOCCE If you think of Bocce Ball as a sport played by older men bickering in Italian, you’re right. But these days, it is also being enjoyed by a new breed of players in hip bars and restaurants. This Sunday Morning, Bill Geist attends the NYC Bocce Championship in Staten Island, a veritable World Series of the sport, where he meets some of those older players (who still bicker in Italian) and takes us to the Union Hall Bar in Brooklyn, NY, where the next generation of Bocce players is having a ball.
