Mass Pike is Ventura Highway

Filed in archive Faculty and Scholarship by Mark on January 12, 2004

Jesse "The Body" Ventura, more recently self-dubbed "The Mind," will test his wits next semester against the best and brightest. Yes, Jesse's coming to Harvard University.

According to CNN, the former Minnesota Governor, wrestler and actorlinks will be a visiting fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government's Institute of Politics. He'll offer seminars and oversee study groups for about three months. Jesse's MSNBC talk show was cancelled last month, so I suppose he has some time on his hands.

Don't get me wrong---I like Jesse, and appreciate his straightforward candor. He's come a long way since the feather boas and multicolored tights. I'm just not sure how his style will play at Harvard, where nuanced debate, not bombastic table-pounding, rules the day. It should be fun, though.

And he's certainly right about one thing: In America, anyone can make it. Heck, even a college dropout can teach at Harvard.
