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."
