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, this is Harry Smith.
We begin tonight in Egypt, where protesters continue to challenge President Hosni Mubarak's nearly 30 year rule. They're angry about poverty and corruption -- and have defied Mubarak's curfew. The army has now been sent in to restore order. CBS News Correspondent Elizabeth Palmer is in Cairo, a city on edge tonight.
Of course, the Obama administration is watching all of this closely. Egypt is a staunch U.S. ally and any threat to its stability could affect the entire Middle East. CBS News Chief White House Correspondent Chip Reid has that part of the story. And I'll speak with Richard Haas, from the Council on Foreign Relations about Egypt's way forward.
We'll also look at the state of the U.S. economy. Today, there was a new sign that the recovery continues. The GDP rose 3.2% in the 4th quarter of 2010. CBS News Senior Business Correspondent Anthony Mason reports.
25 years ago today, the space shuttle Challenger blew apart, just 73 seconds after takeoff. CBS News Kelly Cobiella looks at Challenger's legacy-including that of Christa McAuliffe, NASA's first teacher in space.
Finally...CBS News Correspondent Wyatt Andrews, with the remarkable story of the Gallaudet University women's basketball team -- now ranked 24th in the NCAA's Division III. What makes this story remarkable is that all the women on the team are deaf. The coach isn't --and can't sign very well. Don't miss tonight's The American Spirit.
See you then. Harry

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 10pmET/9CT
Here's an early preview of what's coming up on 48 HOURS MYSTERY:" EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY" with Correspondent Richard Schlesinger
What began as a romantic Valentine's Day celebration for Alec McNaughton and his wife Cathy, ended in the most devastating of ways. On the morning of February 15, 2009, Alec brought Cathy breakfast in bed in their Georgia home, and they exchanged cards. Alec says he then left their home to visit his mother in Sandy Springs, GA, about 35 miles away. When he returned home that evening, he found all of the lights off, and Cathy lying face-down in her office. There was blood under her body and on the walls - she had been stabbed more than 30 times. Her death shocked her family and the members of the community, because Cathy was such a loved human being, who seemed to have no enemies. She was a successful former employee at Delta airlines, who had two children and a seemingly perfect marriage.
Police began an investigation into Cathy's death?examining Alec and Cathy's ex-husband Gary Mendenhall, who happened to be in town from Texas day Cathy was murdered. Both Alec and Gary had strong alibis, but their troubled relationships with Cathy surfaced?making them both good suspects. Family members recalled Alec and Cathy having a tumultuous relationship, which often turned violent. When police interviewed Gary just days after the murder, he had cuts on his hands? which may have been signs of a struggle. Both men drove a silver car - similar to the one that was seen in Cathy's driveway on the day she died.
With no solid evidence to convict either man, police were at a standstill. But perhaps the most shocking piece of evidence was the three disposable cameras found hidden in Cathy's closet. The developed photos showed Cathy posing in ways to show visible bruises and cuts on her body. When were these pictures taken? And did the person who took them have the answer to her death? The shocking twist on this week's 48 Hours Mystery.
