The intersection of billionaires and politics is the topic of a new play, "Patriots," by Peter Morgan, the writer of "The Crown." Like that Netflix series, the play is based on real characters. "Patriots" is not about the US; it's about Russia in the 1990s, when an oligarch backs a little-known deputy mayor named Vladimir Putin in national politics and gets more than he bargained for. Jeff Lunden reports from New York.
