[0:04] Hurricane Isabel. Full team coverage
[0:06] tonight of the still dangerous storm,
[0:09] where it is heading and what it may do.
[0:11] Was Saddam involved in 9/11? President
[0:15] Bush answered that question today,
[0:16] you'll hear what he said.
[0:18] It's getting ugly in the Kobe Bryant
[0:20] case, the defense's pre-trial
[0:23] no-holds-barred attack on his accuser.
