Two Contrasting Historical Programs on Television.

Terry Gross interviews actor Anthony Hopkins. In the movie, "The Silence of the Lambs," he plays Doctor Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist turned psychopath killer, who also holds the key to the identity of another crazed killer. (Rebroadcast. Original date 3/5/91).

Terry Gross interviews Israeli scholar Mark Heller and Palestinian scholar Sari Nusseibeh ("sorry nah-seb-bay"). The pair spent months debating a way to achieve lasting peace. The plan they came up with is the subject of their new book, "No Trumpets, No Drums: A Two-State Settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict." (It's published by Hill and Wang).
