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. I hope you had a great week.

Today Barack Obama fired back at President Bush and Republican rival John McCain for what he called "dishonest" and "divisive attacks." The president hinted yesterday that Senator Obama would appease terrorists and radicals - and Senator McCain asked Obama to explain his foreign policy. What's going on? Dean Reynolds has the story.

President Bush took another hit today - when he went to the Saudis to ask them to bump up oil productivity. He was attempting to drive down soaring gas prices. But he didn’t get the answer he was looking for, Bill Plante reports.

A CBS News exclusive: For the first time, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick answers charges about what he knew during the videotape scandal known as "spy-gate." Armen Keteyian shows us his exclusive interview tonight.

Next: Employees of a government agency are taking lavish trips to exotic locales … on your dime! Sharyl Attkisson tracks where your tax dollars are going in another exclusive report.

Jeff Glor and Nancy Cordes have been road-tripping across the country all week, reporting for our Eye on the Road series. Now, they meet up in Independence, Missouri. We'll show you what they learned about how Americans are coping with soaring gas prices.

Finally tonight, it's prom season, and Steve Hartman got all dressed up to go to one formal that gives the phrase "senior prom" a whole new meaning.

See you tonight … and have a wonderful weekend!

Katie

THIS WEEKEND ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS

SATURDAY ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS…

In addition to coverage of the latest news, here are some of the stories we are working on:

Jeff Glor will anchor the Saturday broadcast of the CBS Evening News.

THURGOOD MARSHALL: Thurgood Marshall, the first black justice to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, is being celebrated in a new Broadway play. The one-man show stars Laurence Fishburne, who was nominated for a best actor Tony Award this week. Fishburne brings to life a man who was reclusive for many of his 24 years on the high court. Saturday is the 48th anniversary of Marshall’s greatest court victory - the Supreme Court decision in “Brown vs. the Board of Ed” outlawing school segregation. Correspondent Michelle Miller will shows excerpts of the play and speaks to Fishburne about his role.

EAT LOCAL CHALLENGE: If everyone ate one meal a week that was locally produced we would save over a million barrels of oil a week. One family tries the “eat local” challenge sticking with foods grown or produced within a 250 mile radius of their Boston home. Anthony Mason reports on how they fared.

SUNDAY ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS…

Russ Mitchell will anchor the Sunday broadcast of the CBS Evening News.

DENTAL INSURANCE: One third of Americans have no dental insurance… and one third over the age of 65 have no teeth. Experts say that those who cannot take care of their teeth are now becoming a second class of Americans who are losing their teeth, who live in pain and who have increased risk of health problems. Michelle Miller reports how one New York hospital is trying to reverse this trend by offering - in some cases - free basic dental care.

TRULY GREEN: There is a growing market for products that are green. But with that popularity come false claims. Correspondent Priya David shows us how to tell which producers are true green.

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 10PM ET/9CT
Here's a preview of this Saturday's broadcast of 48 HOURS MYSTERY: POINT BLANK

Did a husband’s obsession with his wife lead to his death? Traci and Scott Rhode seemed to have the perfect family life. . . but all that would change on October 15, 2003. In the early morning, Traci, a nurse and mother of three, made a frantic call to 911. Her husband Scott, she told the operator, had shot himself. Could Scott have really taken his own life? Those who knew him say he was a driven professional and a doting father. But, according to Traci, there was another side to Scott: a dark side that was slowly destroying their marriage. As police began to investigate, they came to believe this was not a suicide. They think Scott’s death was a homicide and that Traci committed cold-blooded murder. What’s the real story? Harold Dow investigates.

HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUNDAY MORNING

CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM BERLIN

HOME OF THE FUTURE: If you put a bag of flour on a kitchen counter top, what's the chance it will give you a few ideas what to make for dinner with the flour? Well, in Microsoft's Home of the Future, it suggested foccacia bread. That's only one of the technological advances found in several rooms in the “house” located on Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington campus. This Sunday Morning, Rita Braver takes a tour of the house for a peek at what your home might look like in ten or fifteen years. But you don't have to wait that long to see some amazing changes in the home. How about a shower with a half a dozen shower heads pouring out water accompanied by surround sound music keeping beat with the changing mood lighting? Or a refrigerator that let's you set different temperature and humidity for a half dozen food products? Then phones you if you leave the fridge door open. Those were only two technological marvels on display at last month's Kitchen and Bathroom expo in Chicago. And they are on the market NOW. Sunday Morning visited the exhibit along with 40 thousand others to see what's heading your way. Americans are obsessed with what their homes will look like in the future. From Disneyland's Home of the Future in the 1950's and 60's, to the cartoon series The Jetsons to Woody Allen's Sleeper, people are always wondering what their home will someday look like. Sunday Morning offers you a glimpse into the future.

SMALL WONDERS: As one of the world's top ant experts, Walter Tschinkel has made a career of looking down. And he's come to love what he's found there. . . a whole world of ants. It turns out that ants are some of natures' grand architects, digging and building amazingly complex nests. Tschinkel, a professor at Florida State University in Tallahassee, wanted to find a way to show just how sophisticated ant colonies can be. So he designed a home-made system to make three dimensional casts of the underground structures. Serena Altschul unearths the wondrous designs of the anthill.

SWIMSUITS: Looking for something new in swimwear...something built for speed? We'll take a look at some of the hi-tech swimsuits that will be worn by athletes in this summer's Olympic Games. They are called ‘steroids on a hanger.’ Daniel Sieberg plunges into the latest generation of competitive swimsuits.

IF AT FIRST: Mark Strassman relives some of modern design's most disastrous moments.

COMEBACK CADDY: Like cars themselves, automobile design does not stand still. Cadillac is making a splash with its new STS series. Cynthia Bowers will show us how this storied old automobile nameplate is being made anew.

THINK SMALL: In three parts, Bill Geist attempts to downsize his life. From homes to cars and finally a stay at home vacation in his New York apartment building, he learns the virtues of living small.

BRIGHT IDEA: Modern designers are innovative in their use of high-tech artificial light. Can you shed some light at a low cost? All in all, it's a bright idea, as Martha Teichner shows us.

UP AND DOWNS: The modern city wouldn't be possible without the elevator. Seth Doane goes for a ride to report on its many ups and downs.

GREEN WITH ENVY: Environmentally friendly homes are now in style. Bill Whitaker tours actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ home and meets the architect who has not only made it Eco-friendly but stylish as well.

IF THE SHOE FITS: Richard Roth takes us step-by-step through the history of the Great Sneaker War.

FREE WHEELING: Bicycles are everywhere in Berlin, and the city is designing new bike paths all the time. Bicycle innovation is going full speed ahead in Paris as well. Our David Turecamo takes us for a ride.

CELEBRITY DESIGN: He may be the new kid on the fashion block but as Tracy Smith reports, rapper Sean Combs aka “Diddy” has made quite an impression with his “Sean John” brand of designer clothing.

DON’T FENCE ME IN: Charles Osgood takes a look at walls.
