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.
New jobless statistics paint a bleak picture of our economy. The nation's unemployment rate rose last month to its highest level in 16 years: 7.2 percent. It's a clear signal the recession has taken a serious toll on industry over the past year - and the new statistic means that 2.6 million jobs were lost in 2008, the most since 1945. Anthony Mason takes a closer look.
Lawmakers in Illinois voted today to impeach disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. The vote sets the stage for a trial in the state Senate on whether Blagojevich should be stripped of his powers as governor for corruption. Dean Reynolds has the story and Bob Schieffer will join us with some analysis.
Next: The war in Gaza. The battles continue, now that Israel and Hamas have both rejected the UN resolution calling for a ceasefire. Mark Phillips has the latest on the fighting, from the Gaza-Israel border.
A new study reveals a shocking statistic. About one in seven American adults - 32 million people - would have trouble reading this page. Seth Doane looks at what's behind this illiteracy problem, and what can be done to teach more people how to read.
Finally tonight: It wasn’t too long ago that some “experts” were predicting the stock boom would continue through 2010, with the Dow possibly hitting 40,000! Steve Hartman decided, in light of the financial meltdown, to seek out some of these “not so wise” men to hear their side of the story. Do they regret making those projections? Are they embarrassed? Find out, in tonight’s Assignment America.
See you tonight, Katie

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 10pmET/9CT
Here’s a look at what’s coming up on Saturday’s broadcast of 48 Hours VANISHED, Stolen Beauty:
In Ocilla, Georgia, thirty-year-old Tara Grinstead was a beloved teacher, a mentor and friend to many of her students, especially when it came to her passion. . . beauty pageants. The students sought her advice, as Tara had been a fixture on the local pageant circuit ever since she was a teenager. But as she matured, Tara refocused her energies on a career in education. Everything was going well. . . until October 22, 2005 when Tara went to a cookout a few blocks from her home. . . and hasn’t been seen since. On our 48 Hours broadcast, the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) reveals evidence once kept secret -- that could solve this case.
As astonishing as it seems that someone could disappear without a trace, exactly three months after Tara disappeared, another young woman, Jennifer Kesse, vanished from her home in Orlando, Florida. By January 2006, Jennifer was just beginning her career as a financial analyst, and seemed to have everything going for her. . . until she vanished without a trace. Over two years later, her family, friends and police are still looking for her.
Are the cases related? Could there be a common thread in the investigations? And how did two smart, successful women simply disappear off the face of the earth? Peter Van Sant investigates in this special 48 Hours VANISHED, Stolen Beauty.
48 HOURS MYSTERY airs Saturday at 10pmET/9CT

HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUNDAY MORNING
CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
GUILT: Most of us feel it, some more than others. Often it happens when we break our diets. Other times we get it when we skip a Sunday visit to our parents. Or maybe it comes over us when we spend an extra hour at the office instead of going home to see the kids. Guilt has so many varieties, it seems almost impossible to avoid. But why must we suffer it at all? Are human beings hard-wired to feel guilt from birth? Or is it something we learn at home, at church, and in society?
This Sunday Morning, we’ll take an intimate look at a universal emotion. How much guilt should we feel about feeling so much guilt? Among those weighing in: A therapist, a priest, a rabbi, and a neuroscientist who has charted the brains of his guilt-induced subjects. Seth Doane looks into this most unwelcome of human emotions.
SUNDAY ALMANAC: A page from our Sunday Morning Almanac ... January 11th, 1964 . . . 44 years ago. . . a day for clearing the air.
AMERICANA: Kansas City has always been a train town...the second busiest in the nation, after Chicago. Railroads became the lifeblood of Kansas City after the first railroad bridge across the Missouri River was built in 1869. So it's fitting that “Art in the Age of Steam,” one of the broadest exhibits ever of railroad-related European and American Art, should be on display at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, in Kansas City, Missouri. Museum curator Ian Kennedy shows Rita Braver some of the many railroad inspired paintings on display. And Railroad historian Peter Hansen takes Sunday Morning to Kansas City's “triple crossing,” as well as to the renovated, grand old Union Station.
THE BUSH LEGACY: After eight turbulent years, on January 20th, George W. Bush will step down as the 43rd President of the United States. When he leaves the White House, he leaves behind a nation and a world much changed from when he took office.
After all the debate over “hanging chads,” the Iraq War, Guantanamo Bay, and the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, it is the historians turn to put it all in perspective. Thalia Assuras takes a look at the legacy of George Bush - how the man and his presidency will look through the long lens of history.
MEDIA: It is arguably the biggest day of a young woman’s life. And with a billion-dollar industry built around weddings, couples have endless resources to help them plan their perfect nuptials. Now, Brides, the oldest and most read bridal magazine in the world, is celebrating its 75th anniversary. With Tracy Smith, you're invited to a most memorable event.
SUNDAY PROFILE: Glenn Close has built an acclaimed career on stage and screen, garnering some of acting’s most prestigious awards. Anthony Mason speaks with the Emmy award winning actress from the FX series “Damages”.
OPINION: Mo Rocca.
ELEPHANT POLO: Bill Geist introduces us to the obscure sport of elephant polo, tracking the journey of an American team from the unlikeliest of places - a parking lot in Queens, New York - to the World Elephant Polo Championship in Nepal.
NATURE: Winter scenes.

SUNDAY ON FACE THE NATION
BOB SCHIEFFER MODERATES FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.
This week CBS News Face the Nation is going to look at two issues. First: The Illinois Senate situation. Friday a special committee in the Illinois House voted to impeach Governor Rod Blagojevich.

Then we'll turn to the economy: President Elect Obama is warning that the economy could get much worse if a big stimulus package isn't passed, and soon. How big will it be? How soon will it become legislation? And what, exactly, will it contain? All questions for the Majority Whip of the Senate, Dick Durbin of Illinois, and the Minority Whip of the House, John Boehner. And, of course, a final word…That’s all this Sunday on Face The Nation with Bob Schieffer.
