It's been almost six years since the Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death sentence against writer SALMAN RUSHDIE. Since then he's lived in hiding, continuing to write, and to make a few semi-public appearances. His book, "Haroun and the Sea of Stories," published in 1990 was a fairy tale written for his son. His new book is collection of stories about the line that divides East and West, migrancy, exile, and the notion of home, "East, West" (Pantheon). Terry also talked with RUSHDIE in 1990 and 1992. (THIS INTERVIEW CONTINUES INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHOW).
