The Big Story
Presidential contender Newt Gingrich angrily denied ever asking his second wife for an "open marriage" that would allow him to keep a mistress, as she claims in an ABC News interview broadcast two days before the South Carolina primary. "Let me be quite clear. The story is false," Gingrich said during the latest Republican debate on Thursday evening, without elaborating.

Election 2012
As the State of the Union Address approaches next week, President Barack Obama's re-election campaign has launched its first major television ad, buying $2 million worth of airtime in six critical swing states. The new thirty-second video conjures up the 2010 Citizens United decision by directly attacking a conservative Super PAC funded by the oil billionaire Koch brothers. It's a hint that the Obama campaign will try to recapture the anti-establishment magic of 2008 by railing against big money's growing political power.

The president capped a busy week with four fundraisers in New York, including one at Harlem's historic Apollo Theater on Thursday night.

Phone Hacking Scandal
Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper company on Thursday agreed to pay damages to 36 high-profile victims of tabloid phone-hacking, including actor Jude Law, soccer player Ashley Cole, and former British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. In the 15 settlements whose financial terms were made public, payments generally ran into the tens of thousands of pounds (dollars) -- although Law received 130,000 pounds (about $200,000) to end his claims against the now-shuttered News of the World tabloid and its sister paper, The Sun.
