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,

We have a special broadcast tonight with fewer commercial breaks to bring you more of the biggest stories from around the world. And we'll begin in China, where rescue efforts continue after a powerful 7.9-magnitude earthquake killed more than 12,000 people yesterday. As many as 30,000 are still feared missing. Celia Hatton has the latest from one of the country's hardest-hit areas.

Meanwhile, back at home, there's a primary election going on. And Hillary Clinton is expecting a big victory in West Virginia. But what will she do next, given that the math is just not adding up for her? Jim Axelrod has the story and we'll also turn to Bob Schieffer for some analysis.

In medical news, a breakthrough in detecting breast cancer … could simply come from using a different tool already in your hospital. Dr. Jon LaPook has the details of a new study.

If you've been keeping track of our Eye on the Road teams as they drive across the country, you won't want to miss Nancy Cordes' latest stop. It's in a small town where pigs outnumber humans 300-to-one. Well, the humans decided to take advantage of the situation - and decrease their dependence on expensive fuel at the same time. But there were a few snags on the path to going green, and we'll show you them tonight.

Next: infiltrating the mob. Armen Keteyian has the story of how two FBI agents got inside one of the most notorious mafias in the world … and what they saw during their 10 years undercover.

Finally tonight, Hope and Change … they aren't just political slogans. For one Mississippi high schooler, they're all she has. Seth Doane tells her story. It's also the story of The Other America - those who live in extreme poverty … and whose voices aren't often heard.

I hope you'll join us, Katie

TONIGHT ON DAVID LETTERMAN

WEDNESDAY MORNING ON THE EARLY SHOW

Julie Chen, Maggie Rodriguez, Harry Smith, and Russ Mitchell will anchor THE EARLY SHOW from New York. Dave Price will bring us the weather from our New York studio.

GENE HACKMAN NOVEL - Oscar-winning actor, Gene Hackman is well-known for his parts on the big screen, but is making a name for himself as an author. He has just finished his third novel, Escape from Andersonville. It is an explosive novel of the Civil War about one man’s escape from a notorious Confederate prison camp---and his dramatic return to save his men. Exciting, thoroughly researched, and dramatic, Escape from Andersonville is a Civil War novel filled with action, memorable characters, and vividly realized descriptions of the war’s final year. Gene will be joining us Wednesday to talk about this new novel and where he hopes his writing career will take him.

EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE SERIES- Kathryn Martin lost her 2-year-old son C.J., as well as her mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law in the deadly F3 tornado which ravaged Evansville and Newburgh, Indiana in 2005. The tornado took 25 lives and was one of the deadliest in Indiana history. As a testament to her character, Kathryn returned to school and received her degree in human services with a special focus on child advocacy; she led the effort to build the Memorial Park for the surviving children and families of Eastbrook Mobile Home Community to enjoy; she's pushing "CJ's Law" through the Indiana Legislature, that will mandate mobile home manufacturers to pre-install NOAA weather radios in order to provide mobile home residents with potential life-saving warnings in the event of future storms; and she reached out in May 2006 to the families in the neighboring community of Otwell, Indiana who were also hit by an F3 tornado - with a very simple and kind gesture: Kathryn loaded up her car with coloring books, crayons and juice boxes, and along with a friend, went about searching for children playing in the debris and offered their parents to keep their kids distracted for a few hours by sitting down with them and coloring. Kathryn will be joining us Wednesday, as another extraordinary person we will profile.

PAINTING HORSES- Artist Cheryl Ward practices a unique method of abstract expressionism. Instead of painting with a brush in her hand, Cheryl passes the reins of control to her horses who paint on canvas with brushes in their mouths. Her four horses, Romeo, Juliet, DaVinci and Raleigh all paint unaltered and are free to come and go as they please. We will show some of the artwork that these horses have painted, and speak to the owner about how she got them started in it.
