Re-reading Oriana Fallaci's interview with Ayatollah Khomeini in Qom for the New York Times in September 1979, and it is delightful. Unlike the fawning treatment Khomeini usually got from the Western press, she went at him on all the tough questions.  https://foxdeo.com/55ve.tnk

Possibly the most famous part of Oriana Fallaci's interview with Khomeini was where she took off the veil, referring to it as a "stupid, medieval rag".
