-
- 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.
