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,
President-elect Barack Obama met the press today, and once again denied that he and his staff played any role in the alleged scheme by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to sell Mr. Obama's Senate seat. So does that settle the matter? Or does the President-elect face more questions? Dean Reynolds has the full story.
On Capitol Hill, the Big Three automobile bailout has hit a major roadblock in the Senate after the House approved it just last night. So, what happens next? Will GM be allowed to fall into bankruptcy? Sharyl Attkisson reports.
In health news, an important development for the 22 million Americans who suffer from asthma: FDA advisers today recommended that two long-acting drugs, Foradil and Serevent no longer be used to treat asthma, saying their risks outweigh their benefits. Dr. Jon LaPook will explain.
New evidence that many homeowners continue to struggle - even after banks restructure their mortgages. More than half now face foreclosure … a second time. Anthony Mason reports.
Next: a special report that highlights how America’s economic troubles are being felt around the world. When we buy fewer toys, China buys fewer cardboard boxes - and that hurts recyclers in Britain. John Blackstone, Celia Hatton and Richard Roth teamed up for this fascinating report on the recession’s ripple effect.
Finally, we'll introduce you to one of the world's best anglers. She hopes to reel in the winning fish at the Super Bowl of bass fishing … and at the same time, sink a stereotype.
See you tonight, Katie

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 10pmET/9CT
Here’s a 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.)
