It’s CBS News Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley time — and this round of INYIM picks is exactly why the show remains one of television’s great little escape hatches. We pulled five stories built to fuel the brain, the imagination and a little casual-whimsy Sunday wandering.
This week’s INYIM five zigzag through Finnish designs of Marimekko. Making a proper hoagie. Understanding the world through old maps. An adobe renaissance. Celebrating the most prestigious and the ugliest of the automotive world. And last but certainly never the least, it’s the blueprint, standard, Marilyn Monroe at 100!

Understanding the world through old maps.
The Osher Map Library, at the University of Southern Maine in Portland, is home to half a million rare maps, globes and atlases, dating as far back as the 15th century. Correspondent Martha Teichner explores the world as depicted by cartographers, through maps that are whimsical, political, or intentionally distorted, and examines why – in an age of GPS – maps are definitely not outdated.
An adobe renaissance.
For thousands of years, civilizations around the world have built houses out of earth – whether it be mud brick, wattle and dab or rammed earth. But adobe (the practice of making mudbricks) has now become today’s “it” building material, from museums around the world designed using adobe, to do-it-yourselfers constructing homes from the very dirt beneath their feet. Correspondent Conor Knighton looks at the history of adobe, and how ancient adobe materials are being merged with 3-D printing techniques.
Celebrating the most prestigious and the ugliest of the automotive world.
In California, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is an invite-only event celebrating the most valuable collector cars in the world. And just a few miles away, Concours d’LeMons is a once-a-year celebration of the less desirable, less loved and less expensive automobiles. Lee Cowan heads to both events — one that celebrates the best in show, and the other only a worst in show.
Marilyn Monroe at 100.
She was, and remains, one of cinema’s most brilliant stars. Norma Jeane Baker, known to the world as Marilyn Monroe, died in 1962 at age 36, but she left a legacy of classic films, fashion, and a carefully-crafted celebrity image. To mark the centenary of her birth, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is launching an exhibition, “Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon.” Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with those studying the sex symbol’s life and career, and those who are preserving her film persona.
