Gadhafi Killed
We begin with the death of another loathed middle-eastern tyrant ... a man who sponsored international terror for decades. This week, rebel forces in Libya finally killed Moammar Gadhafi. In the wake of his death, his body was dragged through the streets so the Libyan people could see him dead ... in order to actually believe he was gone for good. ABC's Christiane Amanpour -- the last western journalist to interview Gadhafi -- has the details.
President Obama's Bus Tour
At a time when a lot of Americans are having difficulty making ends meet, people are desperately looking for leadership on the economy. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama took to the road this week, on a bus tour to tout his jobs plan. ABC Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper joined the president on his trip and spoke to him about getting the country back on track.
G.O.P. Presidential Debate
We now turn to the GOP Presidential race. The fifth republican debate since labor day took place in Las Vegas this week, and the candidates focused on the economy ... and each other. The attacks turned personal at times ... including more than one yelling match. ABC Senior Political Correspondent Jonathan Karl has the story.
Animals On The Run
Big cats were on the loose this week in small town America. An animal preserve owner set dozens of deadly animals free just before taking his own life. What followed was a tense, dangerous, and very surreal suburban safari ... with police officers using 911 calls to track down the animals. Here's ABC's David Kerley.
Indy Care Race
We turn now to a tragedy this week in Las Vegas ... where an indy car driver, speeding at hundreds of miles an hour, lost his life on the racetrack. Here's ABC's Terry Moran.
James Cameron
James Cameron used groundbreaking technology, giant budgets, and sheer force of will to make Titanic and Avatar two of the most successful movies of all time. Updates of both films are in the works, but sequels aren't enough for this man. While imagining and creating other planets, he wants to save this one. ABC's Bill Weir explains.
Relatively Speaking
It's a triple play on Broadway, and we're not talking baseball. It's a trio of one-act plays titled "Relatively Speaking" ... written by Ethan Coen, Elaine May, and Woody Allen. ABC News Entertainment Correspondent Bill Diehl caught up with some of the stars ... including Marlo Thomas.
