COVER STORY: Overtourism: Too much of a good thing?
Tourism represents 10% of the global economy. But many travel destinations (and the people who live there) are reeling from increasing numbers of tourists, spurred in large part by social media. Correspondent Seth Doane travels to Amsterdam, Paris, Venice and Portofino to look at the impacts that tourism is having on cities, resorts and natural attractions, and why some people are resisting visitors – or redefining tourism – in some of the world’s most popular and fragile destinations.

Many people fear that a family history of dementia dooms them to inevitably suffer the condition themselves.

MUSIC: Sting embarks on “The Last Ship”
For centuries the English city of Newcastle was a hard-scrabble industrial powerhouse that built ships. It was also the hometown of the rock musician Sting, who as a young man witnessed the city’s shipbuilding business dry up. He’s paid homage to his town’s heritage by writing and starring in a musical, “The Last Ship,” which he’s now taking on an international tour. He talks with Mark Phillips about his long career, and why he can’t stop working.

SPORTS: Becoming an “accidental” golf course owner
Tom Coyne, editor of The Golfer’s Journal, has played some of the most exclusive golf courses in the world. But when he visited a nine-hole course in New York’s Catskills that had seen better days and was up for sale, he took on a new challenge: running the course for a year to see if he could turn it around. Coyne talks with correspondent Lee Cowan about his efforts to preserve a rural community’s beloved course, and about his new book, “A Course Called Home: Adventures of an Accidental Golf Course Owner.”
