Does the way we learned to use the tools we use hold us back when those tools inevitably change under our feet? The Apple TV+ series "The Supermodels" teaches us a lesson on the value of a good subject and the role of collaboration as tool for improvement. At the end Bill throws in some musings on the musical Merrily We Roll Along that's currently on Broadway and asks Jeffery to weigh in on what it all means. Larry Fink, may he rest in peace, is our Photographer of the Week.
