CBS Evening News with Katie Couric E-Mail Alert



Advertisement

Good afternoon everyone. This is Russ Mitchell filling in for Katie.

 

Today, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced yet another large infusion of cash to jump-start the economy. It's an $800 billion plan to prop up mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as providing aid to companies that issue credit cards, student and car loans. Wyatt Andrews had details of the plan … and who's lending it support.

 

This new plan is aimed at freeing up loan money, but when – and how – will it actually benefit Main Street? Kelly Wallace looks at the bailout … and the average American business.

 

Also today, President-elect Barack Obama announced his picks for two key new members of his economic team – budget director and deputy budget director. With the U.S. government facing a potential $1 trillion shortfall next year, Mr. Obama said deficit reduction is no longer an option, but a necessity. Dean Reynolds has that story.

 

Turning to health, there's some very good news in the war on cancer. As Dr. Jon LaPook reports, death rates in some of the most common forms of cancer have dropped dramatically.

 

As the holidays approach in these tough economic times, it might seem like good news that the cost of commodities like corn and wheat are dropping. But why are grocery store prices staying the same – or rising? Cynthia Bowers explains what's going on and I'll tell you an astounding example of how families are suffering. It involves one farm, a few extra vegetables … and 40,000 people who traveled to get them.

 

Finally tonight, a story of the remarkable strength of one 10-year-old Yemeni girl and how she's already inspiring others with the story of her underage marriage, her divorce … and her perseverance.

 

See you tonight,

 



Russ Mitchell

60 Minutes E-mail Alert

In our first story, you will meet professional poker players who became suspicious when some of their Internet opponents never seemed to lose. They then started to scrutinize the games and the hands of those suspected cheaters using sophisticated computer programs, correspondent Steve Kroft and The Washington Post’s Gilbert Gaul report in a joint investigation. The players’ suspicions were justified, says Michael Josem, a player and a computer security expert himself, who plotted the odds. “We did the mathematical analysis to find that they were winning at about 15 standard deviations above the mean…approximately equivalent to winning a one-in-a-million jackpot six consecutive times.” In the end, the largest cheating scandal in the history of Internet gambling was uncovered, one that cost players more than $20 million. But the players had to solve this themselves, as managers of the off-shore and unregulated $18 billion Internet gambling industry were unresponsive to their complaints.

 

 

Then correspondent Lara Logan talks to only the second female soldier ever to win the Silver Star since World War II, a young woman who received it as a teenager.  Then-18-year-old Monica Brown wasn't even supposed to be in combat when she found herself in a firefight faced with treating two wounded paratroopers whose lives she saved by tending to their wounds and shielding them from shrapnel. The Army medic takes Logan back to the battle to describe what she was feeling as duty called.  Says her former sergeant major, “I have a daughter her age and it kind of floors me at times to think about my daughter in that situation.”

 

 

Next up, meet another truly remarkable young person. He swam into history at the Beijing Olympics, becoming the first person to win eight gold medals at a single Olympiad. The 23-year-old swimming phenom Michael Phelps tells CNN's Anderson Cooper what his life is like as hundreds of endorsement opportunities roll in to make this U.S. Olympic superstar a marketing millionaire.

 

 

Those stories, and Andy Rooney's tips for saving, on this Sunday’s 60 Minutes, Nov. 30, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
