Chilian President Salvador Allende, PLO leader Yasser Arm rafat, Nazi fugitive Claus Barbi as well as Pierre Trudeau and Brian' Mulroney: How- ever, he finds that the most worthwhile people to interview are common people with common problems. . "I still think the most interesting people to talk to are ordinary people who've got something that they want to express," he said. "I've interviewed Pierre Trudeau and a lot of these guys are pretentious. I often think it's a waste of time because you don't know if they're telling the truth. You can always count on ordinary people to give you the straight goods." In August, Reed will start to film and do interviews for the next season of W5. His first assignment will be a story on King Hussein, the King of. Jordan. Reed sees him as the symbol of the real problem' in the Middle East. He's pro -western, yet he's a Moslem.

Terrorism He says most Canadians have Dome to believe that the Islamic religion is com- pletely engulfed with terrorist activities and has no regard for human life.. What few people understand is that Shiites, who were responsible for the American hostage taking. in Beirut,. are a small extremist group within a larger .group. ' "In reality, the Moslems are some of • the nicest, hospitable people; I've ever met. Away from the show, Reed likes to relax by gardening and reading books.
