The 'Where Are They Now?' Series - Mike Dukakis
Must be a slow news day...(CNN) -- Michael Dukakis became the first Greek-American to be nominated for the presidency when he led the 1988 Democratic effort to win the White House following the popular presidency of Republican Ronald Reagan. Today, Dukakis divides his time between Northeastern University in his native Massachusetts and the University of California, Los Angeles, where he teaches political science and public policy. "I can bring to a classroom a wealth of information, because I have been there," Dukakis told CNN. I encourage all of my students to nurture their love of public service, but I tell them if they want to run for president to talk to me first." Indeed, Dukakis has much to teach his students about the realities of political life. Duke's a wonderful guy, Kitty hits the bottle, blah, blah blah... rest at link. Posted by: Raj 2005-10-01 |
