Democrats Debate

Exactly one week before the crucial Pennsylvania primary, the Democratic contenders for the presidential nomination are going head-to-head in an ABC News debate tonight. Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will meet in Philadelphia for a final 90-minute battle before voters in the Keystone State head to the polls. ABC's Jake Tapper has a wrap-up of the debate from Philadelphia.

The Pontiff

Pope Benedict XVI, arriving in the United States for a six-day pilgrimage, said yesterday that he was "deeply ashamed" by the clergy sex abuse scandal that has hit the Catholic church here. The scandal has cost the church more than $2 billion since it erupted in 2002. Can Benedict help heal the church on his first papal visit to America? ABC's Dan Harris reports.

The Napoleon Complex

Napoleon Bonaparte may have been on the short side, but the French emperor's physical stature didn't stop him from marching on Moscow and waging war across Europe. Napoleon, Stalin and Franco were all leaders whose height contributed to the popular notion that short men are angry and aggressive. But a new British study could debunk the myth of the short man syndrome. ABC's Nick Watt reports from London.

We hope you'll join us.
