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.
