QUOTE OF THE DAY
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge

TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Here's a 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, Six months ago today, President Obama signed the landmark health care reform package into law. And today, some key provisions went into effect. For instance, insurers can no longer deny coverage to children for a pre-existing condition, and young adults can now stay on their parents' insurance until age 26. CBS News Correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports on how the changes will affect American families. And, in our series, "Critical Contests," we'll examine how repercussions from battle over health reform could affect the balance of power in Congress. Do you remember the "Contract with America?" It was the GOP's rallying cry as it retook control of Congress in 1994. Today, the party unveiled its "Pledge to America," in some ways similar to the 1994 "contract." And a key provision is repealing health care reform. CBS News Congressional Correspondent Nancy Cordes has our report tonight. Republicans have blasted the Obama administration's recovery plan as too costly and too ineffective. Today, I spoke with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who defends his and the President's record on the stimulus and the government bailout of the financial industry. Also tonight, a chilling new look at the Christmas day bombing attempt. The new head of the Transportation Security Administration, John Pistole, tells CBS News Justice and Homeland Security Correspondent Bob Orr the device should have detonated. Only "the grace of God and good fortune" prevented a disaster. In his report, Bob will look at what the TSA is doing to prevent new attacks. Plus, there's a new threat from an old affliction. Whooping cough is making a comeback, in places like California. CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook examines what's behind the growing number of cases. Finally, tonight, CBS News Correspondent Michelle Miller looks at efforts to improve education in this country. There's a lot of buzz over a new film, "Waiting for Superman," which examines the problem and focuses on some of the heroes who are giving kids a chance at better schooling. By the way, I interview the filmmaker, Davis Guggenheim, for @katiecouric See you tonight.

FRIDAY MORNING ON THE EARLY SHOW
Maggie Rodriguez, Julie Chen, Harry Smith and Erica Hill anchor from New York. Dave Price brings us the weather. In addition to the day's top headlines, here's an early look at some of the stories we are working on for tomorrow morning's broadcast: Sarah Shourd, the American woman accused of espionage and held in Iran for more than 13 months, says she wants to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad while he's in New York. Shourd was released from Tehran's Evin prison last week -- but her fiance, Shane Bauer, and good friend, Josh Fattal, are still imprisoned. The three University of California at Berkeley graduates were originally detained after Iranian officials said they intentionally crossed the country's border from Iraq. Shourd said the three had been hiking in a popular tourist area -- near a waterfall in Iraq's Kurdistan region -- and had no idea the border was nearby. Sarah will join us Friday morning to share her story. She'll also give you a glimpse of what life is like in the Tehran prison and what Shane and Josh must be still going through. It's the nation's fastest-growing drug problem: prescription drug abuse. And now it's getting even worse as more and more prescription pills are ending up in the hands of adolescents. To combat this problem, the Drug Enforcement Agency has announced a nationwide "Take-Back" initiative that seeks to prevent increased prescription pill abuse and theft. This Saturday, September 25th, at sites nationwide, the DEA will be collecting potentially dangerous, expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. The drugs will then be destroyed. CBS News Correspondent Michelle Miller will have more on the initiative. She also visited three teenagers at "Daytop New Jersey," a not-for-profit adolescent substance abuse treatment and education program. She'll tell you what these teens have learned and why they're now warning others about the dangers of prescription drug abuse. Then, Early Show Contributor and child and adolescent psychologist Dr. Jennifer Hartstein will join us to discuss the increasing problem of prescription drug abuse among teens, and how you can help keep pills out of the hands of your kids. A San Jose police officer is being criminally investigated after he handcuffed his stepdaughter's 15-year-old boyfriend and pretended to arrest him for having sex with the 14-year-old girl. Prosecutors are looking into the incident -- parts of which were caught on video -- to see whether the officer committed a criminal false imprisonment soon after he showed up at the boyfriend's house on his motorcycle and in full uniform. Friday morning, you'll hear from the boyfriend's attorney and parents in an exclusive interview. The new CBS crime drama, Blue Bloods, follows three generations of a tight knit family of law enforcement officers in New York City. The show stars Tom Selleck as Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Danny Reagan and Bridget Moynahan as assistant DA Erin Reagan. Selleck -- and his famous moustache -- return to the small screen Friday night at 10pm, and tomorrow morning, you'll get an exclusive preview of the new season of Blue Bloods from the whole cast. You won't want to miss it -- so be sure to make an appointment to watch!
