[0:01] I'm Russ Mitchell. Tonight, a Supreme
[0:03] Court ruling that could mean big changes
[0:05] to the cars we drive.
[0:07] It's all about the pollution that comes
[0:08] out of the tailpipe. The high court
[0:10] gives the Bush administration new
[0:12] marching orders.
[0:13] Plus, the not-so-friendly skies. Lost
[0:16] bags, late flights. The report card is
[0:18] here, and the grades are disappointing.
[0:21] Kicking the habit, a brand new approach
[0:23] that leads to customized treatment for

[0:28] And it could be the strangest love
[0:29] story, featuring the oddest couple.

[1:03] Agency has a statutory obligation to
[1:05] regulate the carbon dioxide and other
[1:07] greenhouse gases that come from auto
[1:09] emissions. This could lead to new laws
[1:11] to protect the environment and new car
[1:14] designs to boost mileage. We have two
[1:16] reports, beginning with Wyatt Andrews in
[1:18] Washington.
[1:19] >> Ever since the administration came to
[1:21] power, the Bush EPA, the Environmental
[1:24] Protection Agency, has refused all
[1:26] regulation of global warming gases,
[1:29] emissions from cars and power plants,
[1:31] saying it lacked the authority. But
