When thoughts of Russian architecture come to mind, either the traditional images of colorful swirling turrets or the drab, austere buildings of Cold War communism come to mind.

But a Renaissance of modernist design is taking place in Moscow today. This documentary takes us around the city to view various completed and emerging projects, in addition to historical sketches and Russia’s love affair with Constructivism.

The video concludes with interviews from that culture’s next generation of design innovators at one of Moscow’s schools of architecture.

Here’s comedian Will Ferrell in his classic role as the idiosyncratic James Lipton, dean emeritus of the Actors Studio Drama School in New York City and host of the popular cable television series Inside the Actors Studio.

Each Saturday we highlight a humorous and sometimes poignant video, interview, comic, or skit concerning different “careers,” past and present. From W.C.

Boa Sr has died in India at the age of 85.

With her dies a 70,000-year-old language, one of the world’s oldest.

With all the talk of drone attacks and terrorist offensives, it’s easy to miss positive developments coming out of Pakistan, particularly in the troubled frontier provinces.

Despite the reports of widespread Taliban sympathies, there is another side to this region—one where people struggle to stay safe, provide for their families, work for human rights, and dream of a return to peace.

Here’s Andy Griffith’s wonderful 1953 story about the day he first encountered that phenomenon called football.

Fur traders’ shops and merchants’ mansions; quaint bistros, art galleries, and cobblestone streets—there’s a little bit for everyone in Quebec City.

There’s not much better than beans and cornbread—or spaghetti and meatballs, or lox and bagels. Foods know the virtue of cross-tribal elective affinities, even if so many people can barely tolerate their next-door neighbors, much less the folks who live down the lane or on the other side of the veld.

In “Beans and Cornbread,” the great Louis Jordan invites us to contemplate what happens when we trade asperity for amity.

Come inside for a spin of another Jordan hit, the incomparably great “Caldonia.”

One of the many things I liked about Hong Kong was its organized chaos.

You need some herbal remedies or new fish for your home aquarium?

I’ve had a chance to visit a couple of big suburban high schools lately. Both are in old buildings with some real charm—woodwork, tall ceilings, tall windows.

Both are surrounded by neighborhoods with beautiful old houses and tall trees. Both pride themselves on sending their top students to highly selective colleges.

In both cases, the African-American students are not doing nearly as well as the white students. Both schools are baffled.
