David Brinkley
MS news reporter DAVID BRINKLEY being interviewed by off-screen reporter about admirable American political figures for the college youth of the day: "I m too old to be asking a question like that. It s been 20-odd years since I went to college. I doubt there s any one person they look up to and admire. The New Left on the college campus admires Professor Mark Hughes (sp), who I think is an idiot. But to name any one particular person who is a universal campus hero, I doubt there is any. I think maybe John Kennedy was once or came very close to it. Senator (Eugene) McCarthy was to some extent for a while. Robert Kennedy was to some extent for a while. I don t know anyone who is at the moment."

We re very proud of our beliefs. We re very avid in seeing that this sort of thing is kept in the American system." The man is asked for other comments about the article. "She did comment that it didn t make a bit of difference whether we sent the letters to NASA or not, but it didn t affect the court case. As President of the Texas Jaycees, I am fully prepared to take our 300,000 letters to the Chambers of the Supreme Court, if necessary, or to the Congress of the United States or to the President himself to show that the vast majority of the people in Texas and in America do want to keep prayer as a public entity." {Seems to refer to well-known atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair.)
