Tonight on NBC Nightly News

Courtroom drama

Haiti's former dictator, "Baby Doc" Duvalier, was taken from his hotel to a Haitian court today; government officials say he will face charges of looting the public treasury, but human rights groups want to see him prosecuted for torturing and murdering political opponents. Even as all this was happening, it's still not clear why he returned to Haiti at all. NBC's Kerry Sanders has the latest.

Also, more chaos in Tunisia as government officials resign, saying too many of the old guard are still in power. Our Richard Engel is there.

Plus, Chinese President Hu Jintao arrives in Washington; a high school student disappears without a trace; Regis Philbin is calling it quits after 40 years of TV; and Brian Williams remembers anti-poverty crusader, Peace Corps founder and Kennedy family member Sargent Shriver.
