Airing on Monday, January 26, 2015: A leftist coalition is taking power in Greece, now that the results are in from this weekends general election.

Plus, you may be the exception, but odds are this weekend you did not go to opera, dance, live theater or the museum. The National Endowment for the Arts says attendance continues to fall. And those who show up are getting older. Through a series of reports, the NEA wants to give arts organizations new insights into the what patrons, dare we call them consumers, want.
