Olympic Hopeful
Rich Samuels tells us Mayor Daley's latest efforts to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago.
News Analysis with Eddie Arruza
Well-known WGN-TV newsman, Robert Jordan, sat in a doctor's office last fall and was told what more that 200,000 American men learn every year: Jordan found out he had prostate cancer. Like every man who's diagnosed with the disease, Robert had to consider a number of treatment options each with its own risk. Along the way, he encountered differing opinions and a shortage of information. The option Jordan eventually chose is called a daVinci Prostatectomy. Eddie Arruza talks with Robert Jordan tonight about his experience and they're joined by urologist Dr. Arieh Shalhav, a urologist with the University of Chicago Hospitals.
Running for Mayor
Contrary to popular belief, Mayor Daley does in fact have opposition on the ballot. Bill "Dock" Walls, who worked for Mayor Harold Washington, is an early entrant into next year's mayoral campaign. He joins us tonight.
