Stan Evans traces an arc in Quayle's career of rising (if belatedly) to expectations. The angle of the arc must now go up, dramatically. Quayle was born not only roughly a quarter-century after any preceding President; he spent another quarter-century blissfully AWOL from history. His press secretary, David Beckwith, calls the Vice President a "classic late bloomer" -- which means that the first three decades or so of his life do not matter, just the last decade.

When Burrough confronted Beck about his tales, the Wall Streeter denied telling most of them. Now Beck has apparently gone AWOL.

...State Department has accused Lilly of going AWOL in the war against narcotics. U.S. officials say the crucial test for Spike will be conducted in the Andes over the next 90 days and insist that no decision should be made until then. In a press conference last week, Ann Wrobleski, Assistant Secretary of State for international narcotics, asserted that the Upper Huallaga Valley "is not suitable for crops. Peasants moved into the valley to grow coca, period." She pointed out that the cocaine traffickers, who use the area to process the raw leaf into cocaine paste, have inflicted the most...
