CBS News Sunday Morning will examine unidentified anomalous phenomena, the political campaign in Texas and the legacy of Milwaukee’s Socialist mayors when Jane Pauley hosts the programme on Sunday November 1.
The episode’s cover story, reported by Luke Burbank, will focus on UAPs. Robert Costa will report on the campaign in Texas, while David Pogue contributes an election preview guide.
Mo Rocca travels back through Milwaukee’s political history to explore the city’s tradition of “sewer socialism”. Beginning in 1910, Milwaukee elected three Socialist mayors who placed parks, public housing and sanitation at the centre of city government. The report considers what the city’s experience says about a political label that remains the subject of debate.
Georgia O’Keeffe and Larry the Cat among the programme’s features
Broadway’s vampire revival is also under scrutiny, as Tracy Smith examines The Lost Boys, a musical adaptation that has brought the undead to the stage. She speaks to actors L.J. Benet and Ali Louis Bourgzui, director Michael Arden and film professor Rebekah McKendry about the enduring place of vampires in popular culture.
The programme will also revisit the wartime service of James Stewart. Lee Cowan looks at the actor’s decision to serve as a pilot in the Army Air Corps, his 20 successful missions during the Second World War and the effect of the experience on his return to acting, including his role in It’s a Wonderful Life.
Actors K.J. Apa and Max Casella, who play Stewart and director Frank Capra in the film Jimmy, feature in the report alongside Stewart’s daughter, Kelly Stewart Hardcourt.
Jane Pauley reports from a new exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts exploring Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of architecture. The display presents buildings, cityscapes and rural structures as subjects through which O’Keeffe captured light, atmosphere and texture.
In a lighter feature, Holly Williams profiles Larry, the 19-year-old tabby who lives at 10 Downing Street. The cat, officially known as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, has become a familiar presence in the press and a political fixture whose tenure has outlasted five prime ministers.
The edition will also include an almanac looking back at events on November 1, a passage remembering notable figures who died during the week, a gallery of photographs from the past seven days and an in memoriam feature on Linda Mason.
Among the additional reports are Hartman’s look at “the kindness mob”, a nature feature and a review of the week’s images. The programme will also remember Sir Patrick Stewart, who died on October 28 aged 86, with an archive interview about Star Trek, Shakespeare and his return as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Picard.
A collection of Halloween-themed reports will be available as a separate archive presentation, including films, ghost stories, nightmares, fear and cemetery tourism.
CBS News Sunday Morning airs on CBS from 9am Eastern Time, with streaming available on the CBS News app from 11am Eastern Time.
