Rosalía on “Lux” and her devotion to music.
The Spanish singer Rosalía continued to defy convention with her fourth album, “Lux,” recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, which contains lyrics in 14 languages, telling the stories of female saints and mystics through history. The self-described perfectionist who spent two years on “Lux” talks with correspondent Seth Doane about her mix of classical, opera and pop, and her almost spiritual commitment to her craft, defined by what she calls “a search for communion.”
Why playing Elsbeth has been a career-changing role for Carrie Preston.
Carrie Preston has played the quirky lawyer-turned-detective Elsbeth Tascioni in three popular series: “The Good Wife,” “The Good Fight,” and now in the comedic murder-mystery series “Elsbeth,” in which she helps New York City police solve crimes through unconventional means. Preston talks with correspondent Mo Rocca about how playing a paragon of positivity is like a miracle for her.

The mystery of Houdini’s death.
Harry Houdini, the greatest escape artist who ever lived, died 100 years ago on Halloween – a fact that has only burnished his image as a daredevil who often cheated death. Correspondent David Pogue examines the life, and after-life, of a man who seemingly performed the impossible while also debunking seances and fake mystics; and looks into the mystery surrounding Houdini’s death at age 52.
