ARTS: How Oakland's Creative Growth enabled generations of artists
In 1974, psychologist Elias Katz and his wife Florence, an artist, started Creative Growth Art Center, a space where artists with disabilities could make art, some of which has been acquired and shown at such institutions as the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Venice Biennale. After 50 years, Creative Growth is still going strong, and has provided a model for nearly 100 similar art spaces nationwide. Correspondent Luke Burbank reports.

IN MEMORIAM: Jimmy Carter: A man of vision, faith and humility
Elected in 1976 in the aftermath of Watergate, Jimmy Carter, the little-known governor of Georgia, believed he had a responsibility to restore Americans' faith in the integrity of their government. The 39th president accomplished much during his one term in office, but then Carter launched what just might be the most productive post-White House career in history. Correspondent Rita Braver looks back on the remarkable life of a public servant and Nobel Peace Prize-winner, and talks with Carter's son, Chip; former Carter aide Stuart Eizenstat; and biographer Jonathan Alter, about Jimmy Carter's legacy.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, from rivals to friends (Video)
In 1976 Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter ran a heated campaign against incumbent President Gerald Ford. But in a development that seems increasingly foreign to today's partisan environment, the two political foes became friends after Carter himself left the White House. In this "Sunday Morning" report that originally aired February 20, 2000, CBS News correspondent Lesley Stahl talked with the two ex-presidents about their mutual respect. Stahl also spoke with presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, who described Ford and Carter as examples of honesty and integrity in politics.
