Dukakis Says Senate Appointment Unlikely

Michael Dukakis declined to completely rule out a temporary appointment to the U.S. Senate, though he called it unlikely because of a teaching obligation, the Boston Globe reports.

Said Dukakis: “It’s highly unlikely in any event. I’m committed to teaching.”

When Dukakis was reminded that his denial of interest was not an absolute no, he said, “That’s what I have to say.”
