GRAPEVINE, Page 21The Dope on Dan
By DAVID ELLIS/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
While much of the magazine-publishing business has been
hit hard by the recession, one new publication is off to a
smashing start. The Quayle Quarterly has watched its circulation
leap eightfold in just a year. The Connecticut-based
newsletter, dedicated to keeping "a watchful eye on the vice
presidency," has become required reading for 16,000 political
junkies. Co-founder Deborah Werksman insists that her magazine
treats its subject fairly, and attributes its success to the
``high level of civic anxiety" about the man who could be
President.
Quayle's handlers apparently take the journal seriously as
well. When Werksman appeared on the Phil Donahue show, G.O.P.
mediameister Roger Ailes and vice-presidential spokesman David
Beckwith were on hand to defend their man as a heavyweight.
Letters to the editor run both pro ("He's doing the best he can
do with what God gave him") and con ("a yuppie Frankenstein").
