- LETTERS, Page 6Quayle's Qualities
-
- Your piece on Dan Quayle (NATION, June 26) stated that the
- Vice President projects an image of "a kid struggling gamely
- with an adult role." As usual, the emphasis is placed on
- Quayle's youthfulness, not on his legislative record or ability.
- Eventually Quayle will make the media vultures eat crow.

- Don't we have enough trouble in Central America without
- sending Quayle there?

- During the Vice President's trip to American Samoa, I was
- moved to see Quayle pick up a child and put him on his shoulder.
- In our culture, when a chief puts his son on his shoulder, he
- has made the boy taller than the father, indicating special
- affection and selection. I am almost 70 years old and have
- watched young leaders develop. I believe the choice of Quayle
- will be noted as one of George Bush's outstanding decisions.
