Chekhov's Mistress
Rushdie’s Taking the Show on the Road
Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason, premiers on PBS June 23, 2006:
In a world where religion is poison to some and salvation to others, how do we live together? It’s an old debate, this discussion of belief and disbelief. On one end of the spectrum people say, “Only religion counts.” On the other end, “Only reason counts.” Well, I’ve always been a fellow who falls in the middle of this one. Neither wholly a believer nor wholly a skeptic, I see democracy as a co-operative that depends on our thinking out loud and reasoning through until we resolve the issue.
— Bill Moyers
This programs seems to have been done jointly with the Pen World Voices Festival of International Literature [see MetaxuCafé coverage]. In fact, I seem to remember the film crew asking people questions in the line for the Pamuk event.
