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 weekend.

As more Democratic support coalesces around Barack Obama, he's dealing with increased scrutiny. John McCain and Obama traded shots over the Illinois senator's foreign policy expertise. Obama also took aim at Republicans, warning them not to "attack my wife or family," after an online video emerged questioning Michelle Obama's patriotism. As the battle heats up, our political team reports from the field … and will have the very latest from each of the three campaigns latest tonight.

Next: A massive child custody case got underway today, and the logistics are daunting. Hearings involve more than 400 children from the Texas polygamist sect - and each case is set to appear before a judge. Mark Strassmann will explain what happens next.

Also tonight: A certain fire-retardant chemical can be found everywhere from car seats to children's toys. It's supposed to save lives. But could it actually be hazardous for you and your family? Wyatt Andrews has the CBS News exclusive report.

In January, Byron Pitts told the heartbreaking story of Iraq war veteran Carmelo Rodriguez. He died, his family claims, after a military doctor misdiagnosed his cancer. However, under current law, his family cannot sue the military for malpractice. His story has sparked numerous calls to change the law. Tonight, an update … that could answer some of the Rodriguez family's prayers.

Finally, it's the number of strings on a violin, points on a compass, and of wings on a butterfly. But for some gas station owners, the number four is becoming a nightmare. Thousands of old pumps in this country only list price per gallon up to $3.99 … and that's trouble in the days when gas tops the $4-mark!

I hope you'll join us tonight for all this and more, Katie
