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, We begin tonight with some important news for air travelers. Southwest has agreed to buy AirTran for $1.4 billion. The deal combines two of the nation's biggest low-fare airlines. Southwest said today that once the deal takes effect, it will drop baggage fees on AirTran flights. While that will undoubtedly help some customers save money, analysts fear this merger could hurt competition, resulting in higher fares on some flights. CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann will break it all down for us. If President Obama has his way, American kids would spend a lot more time in school -- maybe a month more each year. He also backed the idea of dismissing ineffective teachers, something that could put him at odds with the teacher's unions, which have been some of his biggest supporters. CBS News Chief White House Correspondent Chip Reid will examine the President's education proposals. We're also following several major developments in the war in Afghanistan. Top Taliban leaders have reportedly reached out to the Afghan government about a possible reconciliation. This, as U.S. and Afghan forces are teaming up for the most important offensive of the war -- the push to kick the Taliban out of their hometown, Kandahar. CBS News Correspondent Mandy Clark has the latest from Kabul. In our segment, Critical Contests, we'll report on the battle for Congress, and why a Republican takeover in the Senate is much more of a longshot tonight. CBS News Congressional Correspondent Nancy Cordes will also take a look at the ad wars. Democrats, in particular, have rolled out some nasty attack ads. We end with Steve Hartman's "Everybody in the World Has a Story." He's been doing this series for a while. But Steve says something happens in tonight's piece that's never happened before in the series. Don't miss his report, from the bush, in Australia. See you tonight. Katie

TUESDAY MORNING ON THE EARLY SHOW
Harry Smith, Maggie Rodriguez, Julie Chen 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: On Friday, 26 year-old Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that he would donate $100 Million dollars to Newark, New Jersey to improve their schools. Newark's school district is one of the weakest in the country, and only about half of students graduate from its high schools. Zuckerberg said his gift is a challenge grant, and the goal is to raise $100 million more to match what he'll contribute over five years through his new foundation called Startup: Education. Mayor Cory Booker of Newark announced Monday that he has already secured $40 million in that endeavor. Booker joins us exclusively Tuesday morning to tell you what his plans are for improving the city school system. Attention parents -- do you think the country has a problem with marijuana? Wait until you've heard about the new legal alternative -- synthetic marijuana. The substance is currently sweeping the nation with names like Spice, Summit and K2, and even though it's legal in most states, it's a lot more dangerous than you think. The products are not meant for human consumption, yet they're openly marketed and sold as marijuana alternatives. Calls to poison control centers have sky-rocketed to more than 1400 this year and the problem has now caught the eye of the Drug Enforcement Administration. On Tuesday morning, Early Show Consumer Correspondent Susan Koeppen will tell you everything you need to know to keep your children safe from these dangerous, yet legal substances. If you exercise every day, it'll keep your hip surgeon away! A new study from the Archives of Internal Medicine/JAMA reports that home-based exercises can help protect women from hip fractures. Slips and falls cause at least 90 percent of all hip fractures -- which in turn could lead to severe health problems, and even premature death. In tomorrow morning's HealthWatch CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton will show you how three simple at-home exercises that will improve your balance as you get older. Tune in Tuesday morning for valuable advice that will have you walking taller, feeling stronger, and living longer! With 13 million viewers and 9 Emmy nominations, The Good Wife was the breakout new drama of last season. Actress Julianna Marguiles won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award last year for her performance as Alicia Florrick, a lawyer balancing her complicated personal life with a high pressure career. Margulies joins us Tuesday morning to talk about the show's breakout success and she'll also give you a sneak peek at the new season of the hit drama.
