Chicago Tonight is abbreviated this week for pledge programming.

Archdiocesan Report
A report released today says the Chicago Archdiocese committed numerous errors in its handling of recent sex abuse allegations. Francis Cardinal George says he accepts complete responsibility. Rich Samuels reports on what that Cardinal had to say and what steps the Catholic Church in Chicago says it will take to deal with abuse cases in the future.

News Analysis with Carol Marin
As Cook County Board President John Stroger continues to recover from a stroke he suffered last week, questions abound about his ability to resume his post should he be re-elected in tomorrow's primary. Carol Marin is joined by panelists Mike Flannery, political editor for CBS2 Chicago and WVON Radio talk show host Cliff Kelley.

Ray Meyer (1913-2006)
Late on Friday afternoon, news of coach Ray Meyer's death saddened Chicago. The long-time DePaul basketball coach passed away on St. Patrick's Day at the age of 92. Two years ago, at the start of March Madness, Coach Meyer sat down with Bob Sirott on The Friday Night Show. Tonight we replay a portion of that interview in which the Coach explains why practices were more fun than games.

Critic for a Day
This weekend's box office champ was V for Vendetta, a widely talked about film that has also had its share of criticism for its sympathetic portrayal of a masked insurgent know only as "V." As we do every Monday night, we ask a non-critic to be our 'Critic for a Day.' Tonight's guest critic is Chicago artist, Tony Fitzpatrick.
