I used to see him around from time to time. I actually almost ran over him in my minibike in Brookline one day - that was funny.

4. I heard an excellent interview with him, |
|
I believe it was C-SPAN on my XM. My favorite part was when someone asked him about the Sunday morning political talk shows, and his advice was to tune them out.

I also caught his interview on CSPAN. I was impressed not just by his breadth of subjects, but his ability to candidly diagnosis the current political landscape as he sees it. He sounded more in-touch than some of our top tier candidates. Then again, he has alot less to lose these days than in '88.

7. I campaigned hard for him in '88. He's a good, decent man, with more |
|
intellect and a grasp of the issues that no top tier candidate today has. It really shocked me how he got trounced on election day.

Dukakis is what a Democrat is suppose to be. I miss him.

9. Confirmed: He's at UCLA. |
|
My son knows him, so I sent him this thread and he emailed back that he spoke with Dukakis just last week. He said "he lives in LA and teaches at UCLA every winter from January - March. He teaches a class at the School of Public Policy."
Interesting links with info about Mike Dukakis: _UCLA staff page_ _Daily Bruin article_
