From 1996: The secret world of John le Carré

The putative end of the Cold War didn’t mark the end for master spy storyteller John le Carré, who continued to write thrilling bestsellers of international intrigue and duplicity. Mark Phillips talked with the writer about how his “secret world” hadn’t changed all that much, and with London tailor Douglas Hayward, who served as a source of inspiration for the British expat who finds himself in the middle of a plot in crime-and drug-ridden Panama City, in le Carré’s novel, “The Tailor of Panama.” Originally broadcast on “CBS Sunday Morning” November 17, 1996.
