The Dope on Dan
</hdr><body>
<p>By David Ellis/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> 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.
</p>
<p> 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").
