ART: Tarsila, the “Picasso of Brazil”
In her native country, all you need to say is her first name – Tarsila — for people to recognize the woman known as “the Picasso of Brazil.” But Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973) is little-known in North America, despite her revolutionary art.  

Faith Salie visits New York City’s Museum of Modern Art, which is staging a retrospective of Tarsila’s “cannibalist” paintings, which took the tropes of Western European art and turned them into something extremely Brazilian.

 Roger Bannister on breaking the 4:00 mile (Video)
British runner Roger Bannister, the first person to break the 4-minute barrier in the mile, died Saturday at age 88. In this “Sunday Morning” report that originally aired May 2, 2004, Mark Phillips talks with Bannister about his monumental feat fifty years earlier, as well as with American runner Wes Santee and Australian John Landy (who were also chasing the 4:00 mile at the time) and with Neal Bascomb, author of “The Perfect Mile.” Phillips also recounts the subsequent matchup between Bannister and Landy at the 1954 British Empire Games, an epic race that was called “the Mile of the Century.”
