Mark: And in other no-nuke news... there will be a benefit backpackathon through the unspoiled Berkshires this weekend... Today on "Profiles on Parade," we're pleased to welcome Mr. Mike O'Brian, second cousin of Eunice Shriver, and top operative in the Kennedy campaign! Well, Mr. O'Brian, you're about a month into the campaign now! How's the magic of Camelot hodling up? Man: Well, actually, Mark, we recently decided to abandon the Camelot motif... the Senaotr feels, and we agree with him, that these are different times. The problems facing us today require different solutions than those offered by medieval England. Mark: So what do you expect to replace Camelot with? Any ideas yet? Man: Well, we had the family historian, Arthur Schlesinger, draw up a list. So far, there's no strong consensus. Jackie likes 16th Century Florence, with is accent on the arts, but Ethel and the kids are leaning towards ancient Greece. Mark: Greece? Man: Right. Probably the age of Pericles. But nothing's definite yet.
