"Where Were Top Politicians at Age 27?\nBOBBY JINDAL\n\n In 1998\u2014seven years after graduating from Brown University, where he experienced the joys of exorcism\u2014Bobby Jindal was appointed executive director of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare. The following year, he volunteered his time to look into ways that Louisiana could use a $4.4 billion tobacco settlement, attracting the governor's attention and becoming the youngest-ever president of the University of Louisiana system as a result.\nJOHN F. KENNEDY\n\n Just months before Japan's surrender in World War II in 1945, Lieutenant John F. Kennedy was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy. He was awarded a Purple Heart, a Navy and Marine Corps Medal for heroic conduct, and the affection of every woman who loves a clean-cut man in uniform.\nARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER\n\n Though the bodybuilding phenom was ready to depart the world of gyms for the one of film sets by 1975, Pumping Iron director George Butler persuaded Arnold Schwarzenegger to compete for the Mr. Olympia title that year (which he won handily, his sixth in a row). A full 85 minutes of his jacked twentysomething bod are available via Netflix.\nHILLARY RODHAM CLINTON\n\n After serving as a member of the presidential impeachment inquiry staff during the Watergate scandal in 1974, Hillary Rodham left the D.C. hornet's nest to follow her boyfriend Bill Clinton to Arkansas. She settled into a teaching gig at the University of Arkansas Law School\u2014and, after months of demurring, agreed to marry the man who would help start (though possibly eventually hinder) her political career.\nGEORGE W. BUSH\n\n In October 1973, George W. Bush was discharged from the Texas Air National Guard after five years of service and began his first term at Harvard Business School. According to Bill Minutaglio's biography, First Son, Bush's problems with alcohol were escalating around the same time: He challenged his father to a brawl a year earlier, and a DUI in 1976 would leave him without a driver's license for two years.\nBARACK OBAMA\n\n While finishing his first year at Harvard Law School, Barack Obama was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review\u2014a gig that led to that original fated book deal. In the summer of 1989, he returned to Chicago to work as an associate at Sidley Austin, where his future wife, Michelle, was his mentor. She resisted his early advances, saying it would be \"tacky for the only two black people\" at the firm to date, according to the Washington Post.\nRONALD REAGAN\n\n In 1938 and 1939, Ronald Reagan was kicking off a prolific acting career\u2014he starred in seven Hollywood productions as a 27-year-old, including the curiously titled Girls on Probation (\"The Sensation of the Hour!\"), The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, and Brother Rat, his first film with future wife Jane Wyman. Needless to say, the movies weren't classics.\nJOHN KERRY\n\n The Vietnam War controversy that would plague John Kerry's 2004 presidential run started in 1971, when, as a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, he became the first soldier to testify before Congress about the war. Speaking out at antiwar rallies and on news programs like Meet the Press, he established himself as a skilled orator\u2014and paved the way to his first run for Congress, in 1972."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
