Summary
First up, for our concrete fans, art critic and author Blake Gopnik looks inside modernism through his book, Brutalist Interiors. Holland Murphy solves the mystery of a house in Dallas. From there, we head to St. Louis, where Pam Sanfilippo of the Eero Saarinen-designed Gateway Arch National Park shares how Saarinen's soaring 630-foot monument endures for millions of visitors. And we wrap up with the Rolling Stones of swing, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, carrying forward one of the greatest big bands with leader Jeff Bush.
