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 CBS News Correspondent Jeff Glor in for Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric
Good afternoon. This is Jeff Glor, filling in for Katie.
We’ll begin the broadcast tonight with more on the Mumbai Massacre. As fighting raged into a third day… so far, more than 150 people have been killed and at least 370 have been wounded in India’s financial capital…and it’s far from over. Our Celia Hatton is on the ground in Mumbai with the very latest.
We're also learning a lot more tonight about the American victims in Mumbai...and also some amazing survivor stories. Seth Doane has that side of the story. And Mark Phillips looks at the reignited tensions this crisis is causing between nuclear powers, India and Pakistan, and what it means for U.S. interests.
Also tonight, it’s Black Friday and the shoppers started out early this morning to get the best bargains. But as Michelle Miller reports, the excitement over the holiday specials proved fatal at one store where a worker was trampled by a stampede of unruly shoppers.
In other news, we’ll look at an outrageous disability scam. Would you believe 97 percent of retired railroad workers in one community file for and actually receive disability benefits? Sharyl Attkisson looks into the suspicious claims as she Follows the Money.
Also, tonight, a new class of homeowners on the brink of foreclosure. Ben Tracy tells us how Middle Class Americans with good credit are now finding their homes are worth far less than their mortgages.
And finally, we meet a Good Samaritan in a station wagon. A generous man who helps people who run into trouble along a stretch of highway…and it does it, just because he thinks it’s the right thing to do. That’s our Assignment America.
I hope you’ll join us. Have a wonderful evening and a terrific weekend. Jeff
Here’s a look at one of the stories we are working on for next week’s broadcast of The CBS Evening News The internet can be a source for information and hope...after a Cancer diagnosis.

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 9pmET/8CT
Here’s an early look at what’s coming up Saturday on a SPECIAL 2 hour 48 HOURS MYSTERY, Drawn to Murder:
On the morning of February 11, 1987, the half naked body of 37-year-old Peggy Hettrick was found in a field in Fort Collins, Colorado… Police canvassed every house near the crime scene, talking with businessmen, housewives and neighbors who all said they had seen nothing suspicious. But police were quick to zero in on Tim Masters, who lived a stone’s throw from the field. Masters, then a 15-year-old with not a lot of friends, but no history of trouble, usually cut through that same field to catch the school bus. Tim’s footprints were in the field… but he hadn’t reported a thing. Upon searching the residence, police discovered all sorts of graphic drawings - mutilation, dismemberment. But at the time, that simply wasn’t enough evidence to arrest Tim Masters.
Years passed and the case went cold… until 1997 when one cop would find an ally to put a new spin on the best evidence the police had. . . Tim’s drawings. More than a decade after the crime, Masters went to prison in 1999 …sentenced to life behind bars without parole… for a grisly murder he swears he didn’t commit. Then, a starting revelation would challenge the conviction. Was there a much more likely suspect? Now, after years of hearings and petitions and unsuccessful appeals, a judge could make a ruling that would set Masters free. Who REALLY killed Peggy Hettrick?
A SPECIAL 2 hour 48 HOURS MYSTERY airs Saturday at 9pmET/8CT

HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUNDAY MORNING
CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
GOOD NEWS STORIES: Throughout the broadcast, we’ll profile three people who are making their communities and the world a better place to live. We begin, Cleveland, Ohio, with Armen Keteyian and the story of Ted Ginn Sr. who was a janitor in the day and school security guard at night in the Cleveland Public Schools. He volunteered after school as an assistant coach to the school football team. Then about a dozen years ago, he pushed to be named head coach of the Glenville High School's football team even though he didn't have any of the required credentials.
He ended up leading the football team to State and Division championships. But Ted Sr. never trained as a coach and doesn't even know if he's a good "coach" in the traditional sense. What he ingrains in his players is a sense of who they can be because he was just like them. He had been a football star but what he never had was a great education. He decided to change that for the next generation.
A few years ago, Ted was approved to start a Magnet school as part of the Cleveland Public School System. The magnet school accepts and caters to "at risk boys." It's called the Ginn Academy. And in the few years it's been open, his at risk teens have been scoring higher than the kids in the other public schools--not just on the football field but in the classroom as well.
At his academy, he's taken the skills he used to motivate his teams to victory, to get the troubled young men who come thru his door to value education, do well in school, and even strive to do better in life than Ted Ginn Sr. -- which seems like it might be a very tall order...
Then we go to Springfield and Boston, MA where Russ Mitchell has the story of Peter Phelps. When he was 79, Phelps was diagnosed with lung cancer, and his doctor told him that he was not likely to survive. He found a clinical trial going on in Boston and thought he’d give it a try. But, sensing that he wasn’t going to Boston live, but rather to die, he gave away everything he had, and showed up at the doctor’s with nothing but the clothes on his back. It was then that he discovered that the trial did not include hospitalization, nor room and board, and Phelps found himself homeless. But then, a non-profit organization called Hearth discovered him and got him housing in a building for the elderly.
Once resituated in a home, Peter began to rediscover his passion: painting. Soon, his neighbors began admiring his work and he began to hold classes on how to paint, and how to make beaded jewelry. He also donated 80 paintings to Hearth which sold them at a fundraising auction and raised some 6000 dollars.
Finally we go to Roslyn, NY where Charles Osgood has the story of Jourdan Urbach, a 17 year old violin prodigy who has raised more than $1.4 million for the non- profit charity he founded, Children Helping Children.
SUNDAY ALMANAC: A page from our Sunday Morning Almanac ...November 30th, 1954 . . . 54 years ago. . . a day of vindication for Chicken Littles everywhere.
WESTERN ART: Western Art is big business with paintings and sculptures of cowboys and Indians selling for big bucks - millions for some. Jerry Bowen went to the biggest western art auction in the country, the Coeur d’Elene Art Auction in Reno, Nevada, that took in nearly $37 million dollars - a sales record. Bowen profiles two of the best known living western artists, Howard Terpning and Harley Brown.
SILENT FILMS: David Edelstein on a different kind of movie.
HARVEY MILK: Dateline: San Francisco, CA: Thirty years after the murder of San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, a new film is chronicling his rise to power as one of the country’s first openly gay elected officials. John Blackstone reports.
TURKEYS: Tis’ the season for presidential pardons and a new lease on life for the Thanksgiving turkey. Bill Geist follows the most famous beneficiary of executive clemency to its new home, Disneyland.
SHERYL CROW: Grammy Award winning musician Sheryl Crow talks with Rita Braver about her successful career and life on the road with her 19 month old son.
