CITIES: Robert Moses, the man who rebuilt New York
Urban planner Robert Moses (1888-1981) was the unelected official who single-handedly reshaped New York City and its environs with his massive public works projects – highways, bridges, tunnels and parks that redrew the map – while displacing tens of thousands whose homes stood in his way. Correspondent Martha Teichner talks with Robert Caro, author of the classic Moses biography “The Power Broker,” and with actor Ralph Fiennes, who plays Moses in a new play, “Straight Line Crazy.”

COMEDY: Comic Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias: Keeping it “fun and friendly for everyone”
One of the most successful (and least controversial) comedians working today, Gabriel Iglesias, known to his millions of fans as Fluffy, shies away from jokes about politics or religion – which leaves food, something the entertainer knows something about. He talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about his comic inspirations; his sold-out Dodger Stadium show (now streaming on Netflix); and about indulging his lifelong passion for Volkswagens.
