Politics Editor
After graduation, L.A. native Mindy Menjou plans to take steps toward becoming a high school English teacher. Teaching high school, to her, seems like a great way to 1) repay her student loans, 2) push her political and cultural agenda gently influence America's young people, and, in so doing, 3) perform an invaluable service to America and, indeed, humanity. If she's lucky, she won't meet the same fate as Socrates - not that she would be so bold as to compare herself to Socrates.
