    Cultural Clashes

    The controversy over political cartoons has been talked about in terms of the clash of civilzations. Today, we look at the conflict and the common ground between art and culture in the West and in the Muslim world. We'll also speak with the young singer and songwriter Elvis Perkins, whose latest cd reflects the twin tragedies of losing his father to AIDS and his mother to the attacks of September 11. And, a round-up of the Grammy winners, live from LA.
