The Creativity Crisis, Dean & Britta
America’s creativity crisis. Newsweek reporter Ashley Merryman tells Kurt Andersen that test scores for creativity are slipping, but there’s a lot more at stake than a supply of fresh art.

We explore the strangeness of Emily Dickinson’s iconic poem, “Because I Could Not Stop for Death.” And indie rock’s sexiest couple, Dean & Britta, perform.
