TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Here’s an early look at what we are working on for tonight’s broadcast from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric
Hi everyone. I hope you’ve had a great week.
The auto bailout legislation stalled in the Senate overnight, but that doesn’t necessarily spell doom for the Big Three automakers. Today, the Bush administration signaled it would consider using some of the financial industries bailout to keep the automakers afloat. Sharyl Attkisson has the very latest and today I interviewed United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger to find out his take on why the Senate bill failed - and what’s next..
Plus, Cynthia Bowers is in Detroit talking to workers in other businesses who depend on the auto industry to make a living. Can they survive if the Big Three don’t get a bailout - and soon?
There’s a new development in the “Pay for Play” scandal involving Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Today, that state's attorney general, Lisa Madigan, asked the courts to help strip Blagojevich of his powers. Could this actually happen? Dean Reynolds explains.
If you've never heard of a "Ponzi Scheme," you won't forget what it is after tonight. A Wall Street guru - a former Nasdaq chairman -allegedly masterminded the largest investment swindle in history. Bernard Madoff is accused of defrauding investors out of as much as $50 billion. Chief Investigative Correspondent Armen Keteyian tells the stories of some investors who’ve lost all their money in this scheme.
Finally, Steve Hartman will introduce you to a man who's the envy of all his friends - and who would be the envy of 10-year-olds everywhere. He quit his day job as a corporate lawyer to pursue his true passion - turning Lego blocks into spectacular works of art. It’s our Assignment America.
Have a great weekend! Katie

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 9pmET/8CT
Here’s an early look at what’s coming up on Saturday’s 48 HOURS MYSTERY, Invitation to a Murder:
When Mark Winger fatally shot an intruder he was hailed as a hero. The nuclear engineer says he was in the basement of his picturesque Springfield, Ill. home when he heard a thump. Racing upstairs, Winger grabbed his gun and was faced with his worst nightmare when he discovered a man beating his wife Donnah with a hammer in a horrific scene that ultimately ended in the death of both his wife and her killer.
It seemed like an open and shut case of self defense and Winger was quickly cleared of any wrongdoing. But one rookie investigator believed that there was more to the story. Unable to let go of this hunch, he relentlessly tried to get the case reopened, but to no avail, until four years later, when a new witness helped put the pieces together and expose a shocking truth: Mark Winger was the mastermind behind a complicated plot to murder his own wife.
As new dramatic developments have emerged 48 HOURS MYSTERY has gone beyond the broadcast to document the case in more detail in the book Invitation to a Murder by producer Gail Abbott Zimmerman. Available in bookstores now, Invitation to a Murder is the fourth release in the 48 HOURS MYSTERY series published by Pocket Books, a division of Simon and Schuster.
Richard Schlesinger reports on these new developments as part of a special presentation of 48 HOURS MYSTERY, Invitation to a Murder.
(Please note: This 48 HOURS MYSTERY is part of a SPECIAL doubleheader beginning at 9pmET with: 48 HOURS MYSTERY, Deadline for Justice - Harold Dow reports on two remarkable and haunting cases of murder that could be connected.)

HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUNDAY MORNING
CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
WPA: Last weekend, faced with a collapsing economy, President-elect Obama said “We need action-and action now.” 75 years ago, another new President, Franklin Roosevelt, faced with the Great Depression, addressed the nation in similar words: “This nation is asking for action - and action now.” Those words led to the creation of the Works Progress Administration - known as the WPA. It put 8 and a half million people back to work in projects that dot America today. And it lifted the country out of starvation and poverty. With President-elect Obama proposing a half trillion dollar program to put America back to work, Chip Reid takes a look back at the WPA to find what guidance and counsel it may provide him and us in our current demanding times.

Behind the scenes, he’s led a life that would make an intense Hollywood drama - loves and lives lost, and friendships with some of the most important people in the movie business.
