U.S.: The legacy of Milwaukee’s Socialist mayors
Beginning in 1910, Milwaukee—a city long associated with beer and bratwurst—elected three Socialist mayors who made parks, public housing and sanitation priorities of city government. Correspondent Mo Rocca examines the origins and record of Milwaukee’s “sewer socialism,” and what the city’s experience reveals about a political label that still provokes debate.

BROADWAY: “The Lost Boys”: How a vampire musical brings the undead to life

Benet and Ali Louis Bourgzui, and director Michael Arden, of “The Lost Boys,” which has avoided the stake in the heart that befell other Broadway vampire musicals. Smith also talks with film professor Rebekah McKendry about vampire lore in the media.

MOVIES: “Jimmy”: How movie star James Stewart became a war hero
During the Second World War, Academy Award-winning actor James Stewart answered his nation’s call, serving as a pilot in the Army Air Corps. He flew 20 successful missions, and came home from WWII a different man. Stewart’s fight to be able to fight despite his celebrity, and his emotional post-war return to the screen in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” are the subjects of the film “Jimmy.” Lee Cowan talks with actors K.J. Apa (who plays Stewart), and Max Casella (who plays director Frank Capra), and Stewart’s daughter, Kelly Stewart Hardcourt, about what the actor’s service did to his soul.

WORLD: Larry the Cat, at home on Downing Street
One of the most famous addresses in the world, 10 Downing Street in London, is home not just to prime ministers, but also to a 19-year-old tabby cat named Larry. Correspondent Holly Williams looks at how the official pet of the British leader’s residence and Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office has become a favorite of the press – and a political fixture whose nine lives have so far outlasted five prime ministers.
