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, Eight years after Elizabeth Smart was dragged from her bedroom, a federal jury convicted Brian David Mitchell of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines for the purposes of illegal sex. The real issue was whether Mitchell is sane and the jury concluded that he is. Smart was found nine months after she was kidnapped and testified against Mitchell, who now faces up to life in prison. CBS News Correspondent John Blackstone is following the case. Police in London have launched a big investigation into that security lapse during yesterday's student protests. An angry mob attacked the car carrying Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla. A window was smashed and the car was smeared with white paint. All of this, after police had supposedly cleared the neighborhood. This is a big deal for police and the government, with the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton coming up in just a few months. CBS News Correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports tonight from London. When you book a cruise, you hope it will be memorable. But 88 Americans will remember their cruise for all the wrong reasons. Their ship was battered by giant waves in the seas off Antarctica. Everyone's safe and sound in Argentina now. But they've got some story to tell. 48 Hours Correspondent Erin Moriarty reports. Finally, CBS News Business Correspondent Anthony Mason reports on today's auction of some notable historic artifacts. One is an original copy of the Emancipation Proclamation once owned by Robert F. Kennedy. Another is the typewritten 13 original rules of basketball, by the game's inventor, Dr. James Naismith. See you then. Katie Here's an early look at one of the stories we are working on for next week's broadcast of The CBS Evening News: Boom and gloom. Baby boomers now make up the majority of men and women divorcing in this country. Why are so many splitting up? We'll take a look next week as our special series Senior Moment continues only on The CBS Evening News. THIS WEEKEND ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
In addition to coverage of the latest news, here are some of the stories we are working on: ON SATURDAY, JEFF GLOR ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
BABY SPORTS -- In Los Angeles, there's a new parenting craze: teaching sports to babies. From soccer to baseball to tennis, kids as young as 18 months are becoming miniature athletes! And guess what -- it's risk-free. CBS News Correspondent Bill Whitaker takes a swing at the popular new trend. TAX CUTS -- We'll have the latest on tax cuts and whether Congress will approve the deal President Obama struck with Republicans. Senior White House Correspondent Bill Plante will report on Democratic opposition to the deal, reaction from the White House and a look ahead to the upcoming Senate vote on the Bush era tax cuts, which are set to expire at the end of the year. MADOFF ASSOCIATES -- Two years after the fall of Bernie Madoff, his former employees are still feeling the fallout. John Kelly, a 52-year-old trader, is surviving on food stamps, Medicare, and unemployment to support his wife and three kids because no one will hire him. Elaine Solomon, Peter Madoff's former assistant, moved to Miami to reinvent herself as a real estate agent after she was unable to find a job in New York. CBS News Business Correspondent Anthony Mason takes a look at the aftermath -- both financial and psychological -- on the former Madoff employees who are still paying the price for being associated with the now notorious Ponzi scheme. ON SUNDAY, RUSS MITCHELL ANCHORS A WEST COAST ONLY BROADCAST FROM NEW YORK

While seemingly a boon to the economy, Patch does have its critics; they have been accused of focusing on creating content that attracts advertisers and shying away from controversial stories. START TREATY -- Congress is about to head home for the holidays but they've got a huge to-do list: tax cuts, the START treaty and the DREAM act, just to name a few. CBS News Correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports from Capitol Hill on what's left and what's likely to really get done.

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 10pmET/9CT
Here's an early preview of what's coming up on 48 HOURS MYSTERY: "Live to Tell: The Railroad Killer": It was Labor Day weekend, 1997, at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, and Holly Dunn's world seemed full of possibilities. She was a popular sorority sister, and had a new boyfriend named Chris Maier. That August night, the couple took a midnight stroll to the railroad tracks, when suddenly a man appeared out from behind an electrical box; he was holding what looked like an ice pick. He asked them for money and then tied them up and gagged them. While Holly and Chris were trying to break free, the attacker picked up a large rock and smashed it against Chris's skull, killing him. Then he raped Holly and bludgeoned her with a wooden board, breaking her jaw and eye socket. The man fled, leaving her to die... but Holly miraculously survived. In more than two years following that attack, Angel Resendiz, better known as "the Railroad Killer" would kill again. In fact, over the span of his crime spree, Resendiz allegedly murdered 9 people in at least three states - Kentucky, Texas and Illinois. Authorities nicknamed him the "Railroad Killer" because all of the murders occurred in close proximity to train track locations. In a special b48 Hours Live to Tell Holly relives that tragic evening, how she was able to bring her attacker to justice, and how she's since rebuilt her life to help other victims of sexual violence.

HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR SUNDAY MORNING
CHARLES OSGOOD ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK We hope you'll join us this Sunday Morning for all these stories and so much more: GROUPONS -- Looking to save some money this holiday season? Have we got some deals for you! Online sites like Groupon and LivingSocial are pioneering the hottest thing in retail marketing. You sign up, and every day you get a coupon for half off or more at a local business: everything from restaurants to spas to painting lessons.

CBS News Business and Economics Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis will talk with the CEO's of Groupon and LivingSocial, as well as merchants and customers. And we'll look into the future of this online phenomenon. ELTON JOHN & LEON RUSSELL -- Elton John is one of the most beloved pop musicians of the last few decades. But even icons have heroes. And it turns out one of Elton's heroes is Leon Russell, a hard-rocking piano player who was a backbone of the Woodstock generation. After playing major roles in a couple of defining rock and roll events such as "The Concert for Bangladesh" and Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour, Leon Russell fell largely off the charts during the 1980's and 1990's. Elton and Russell briefly crossed paths in the 1970's. And through a quirk of fate, they got back in touch two years ago. The result was a new album and a national tour, and a chance for Leon Russell to take back the spotlight. CBS News Correspondent Russ Mitchell talks with Elton John and Leon Russell about a rock-and-roll second chance. 'TIS THE SEASON...PUDDING! -- It's a tradition that takes Brits back to the days of Charles Dickens.

It's said that 90% of the population will have a bite of pudding over the holidays. But only the lucky few will get a taste of the hottest must-have purchase this Christmas -- an orange-centered pudding made by celebrity chef, Heston Blumenthal, which immediately sold out of grocery stores and is now selling on eBay for nearly two-thousand dollars. This Sunday Morning, CBS News Correspondent Martha Teichner travels to London to make Christmas pudding with British TV chef, Nigella Lawson and visits family-run pudding maker, Cole's Traditional Foods, which churns out more than a million puddings a year.
