Atul Gawande and Siddhartha Mukherjee discuss the state of the pandemic: with more than a hundred million Americans vaccinated, the nation is at a turning point, while India and other nations are overwhelmed by yet another devastating wave.

And we visit the Metropolitan Museum with the critic Hilton Als. Als celebrates the work of Alice Neel, whose portraits of a multicultural city put her decades ahead of her time.
