Kurt Andersen tests his knowledge of the Billboard top 100, and we profile an influential designer who helped create the look of the 20th century. In our cover story, Kurt and special guest actor Michael York explore teamwork in the arts, from what happens to the surviving member of an artists’ collective when a collaboration ends, to an orchestra that prides itself on making music without a conductor.
