This week on "Sunday Morning" (Aug. 14)
A rebroadcast of our annual "Design Show," devoted to the people, places and things that change our lives by design. Hosted by Charles Osgood, and brought to you from the scenic environs of Newport, Rhode Island. (This program was originally aired on May 22, 2016.)
We'll be broadcasting from The Breakers, the world-famous, 70-room, Italian Renaissance-style palazzo built in 1895 by Cornelius Vanderbilt II, which is the crown jewel of Newport; and the nearby Marble House, built by Cornelius' younger brother, William.
