Barbara Dennerlein's American Debut.

Writer Thomas McGuane. McGuane's been called "Ernest Hemingway with a sense of humor ... (and) ... Franz Kafka journeying through Montana." He's the author of the acclaimed novels The Sporting Club, Ninety-Two In The Shade, and To Skin A Cat. McGuane's latest novel is called Keep The Change. It follows a self-despising artist as he travels to Montana to try to make a new life for himself. McGuane himself runs a ranch in Montana. (Rebroadcast. Originally broadcast September 22, 1989.)

Composer and musician Danny Elfman. Elfman has been gaining a reputation as one of Hollywood's most talented film composers, and just won a Grammy Award in Instrumental Composition for his theme from "Batman." He also composed the music for "Beetlejuice," "Midnight Run," and both Pee Wee Herman movies, and he leads the rock band Oingo Boingo. (Rebroadcast. Originally broadcast June 12, 1989.)

Television critic David Bianculli reviews an episode of "Rescue 911," the CBS series that sends a film crew out on emergency police calls. Their most famous piece of tape yet is the call from Charles Stuart in Boston to say he and his pregnant wife had been shot by a black assailant (this turned out to be a cover up for Stuart, who apparently murdered his wife and shot himself). Bits of the tape have been shown on newscasts, but this is its first full airing on the show.
