[0:32] Good morning. I'm Harry Smith and this
[0:34] is Sunday morning. Charles Osgood is
[0:37] off. There is a sound people in parts of
[0:40] the heartland of this country have not
[0:42] heard in too long a time and they would
[0:45] dearly love to hear it. The sound is the
[0:48] strong, steady patter of rain beating on

[1:38] California to visit some shrines of

[1:44] neon lit roadside glories.
[1:48] A stage of life is a story of two young
[1:51] dancers on the brink of stardom from
[1:53] Terrence Smith.
[1:55] It's spring in New York and the ballet
[1:57] season is in full swing. Part of the
[2:00] excitement this year is being generated
[2:02] by two gifted young dancers with
[2:05] American Ballet Theater. This Sunday
[2:08] morning, we'll meet these two budding
[2:10] stars as they prepared for
