COVER STORY
Success
Kurt Andersen and writer Lynn Hirschberg explore what
it means to be an artistic success.
 Successful
Passages
A thrillingly perfect line in a novel, a breathtaking
corner of the painting, one extraordinary lyric in a song, the way a set
in a play looked. Artists identify some of those moments in a work of
art where everything comes together. Produced by Trey Kay.

Open House New York. It's an annual tradition in London and Toronto,
and this weekend will be inaugurated in New York City. Visitors who
sign up for Open House New York get to climb into ordinarily inaccessible
and clandestine architectural nooks and crannies. Sarah Lilley got a
sneak preview of some of the other hidden corners of the city.

Clown
Care Unit
At the Babies and Children's Hospital in upper Manhattan you'll hear
the normal medical beeps and buzzes, doctors rushing around to their
young patients. Some days you'll also hear laughter--which means the
Big Apple Circus has sent out their Clown Care Unit. Produced by Sara
Paul.
