This last seems to mean that Quayle has the requisite brood for competing in the campaign's family wars, not large enough to overshadow the podium-packing Bushes but appealing enough to get good press. Quayle lives a quiet, suburban life in McLean, Va., with three blond children and a handsome wife he married in 1972, ten weeks after their first date. The daughter of physicians, Marilyn Quayle is also a political "twofer": a lawyer who has decided not to work, she can appeal to the emerging Gloria Steinems of the G.O.P. without threatening the Phyllis Schlaflys...

By the early '70s, Olmos was landing small parts on shows like Kojak and Hawaii Five-O, often as bartenders and two-bit hooligans. "I was the only person Jack Lord shot in the back, ever," he notes dryly. "That's how bad I was." Then in 1978, during an audition for a play at Los Angeles...
...share of attention, commencement has always been a family affair -- and never more so than this year. At Immaculata College, near Philadelphia, Nora Gammon, 54, a mother of twelve children, proudly accepted her B.A. along with Daughter Laureen, 21. At New York City's Lehman College, Elyse Sanchez's brood of four proudly stood by while the 35-year-old welfare mother got her B.A. Elizabeth McCulla, 21, became the eighth in her family to graduate from William and Mary (Mom's and Dad's alma mater). Jesse Jackson stumped up a storm as speaker at his alma mater, North...
