Mark: Coming up, "Duke: Portrait of a Mentor... by the caretaker whom the late ambassador loved almost like a son." Okay boys and girls, we've got a big treat in store for you drug-abuse fans! Today's Profile on Parade is Zeke Brenner, author of the best-selling memoir, "Duke: Portrait of a Mentor." Zeke, let's get right to it. I'm sure a lot of readers would like to know what the point of view of your books is. Zeke: Point of view? Well, actually, there's no one point of view, per se. I mean, that can be pretty limiting. Mark: I see. Well, which story in the book do you like the best? Do you have a favorite? Zeke: Um... well, no, not really. There are so many, you know? I'd be hard-pressed to pick just one. Mark: How about the ending of the book? What was the inspiration for that? Zeke: Well, I guess knowing Duke as well as I did, it just seemed like that was the best way to end it it, y'know? Mark: I see. Okay, another question I'm sure is on everyone's mind - have you read your own book? Zeke: Look, I'm a busy man. I don't have much time for reading.
