...Senator from Indiana attempted, with a mixture of indignation and forced humor, to exorcise a tag-team of ghosts haunting the Republican ticket. Did his family wealth and connections get him into the Guard while other young men went to war? Did he proposition Party Girl and Lobbyist Paula Parkinson? As Quayle swatted away one spook, another replaced it. When he declared an end to the discussion about his past and sought to go on the offense, he tripped over his exaggerated resume. The Cleveland Plain Dealer disclosed on Friday that Quayle spent just a few months, not two years...

...further annoyance to Republicans was the brief revival of unsubstantiated speculation that Quayle flirted with Parkinson during a Florida golf outing in 1980. That half-forgotten episode, getting new currency because of a Playboy story to be published soon, aroused gossip about a variety of capers. According to notes taken by her lawyers during a 1981 FBI interrogation, Parkinson told federal agents that Quayle propositioned her. "Quayles ((sic)) made a pass," read the handwritten notes, made available last week by Washington Attorney Glenn Lewis. "Said would like to sleep with you. Said no -- I'm ((with)) Tom. Quayles only...

...selection of Quayle also resurrected stories about Paula Parkinson, the shapely Washington lobbyist known for her legislative affairs. On a golfing vacation in 1980, Quayle stayed in a Florida house with two other Congressmen and Parkinson. He left the next day and was never accused of intimacy with her; no evidence has emerged to dispute his claim that he did nothing more exciting than play golf. But in the November issue of Playboy, due on newsstands Oct. 1, Parkinson (who is pictured posing nude) will make some new allegations about Quayle's activities that weekend. Her charges are unsubstantiated...

First there is the matter of his weekend in Florida with lobbyist Paula Parkinson, who claims to have had affairs with several Republican lawmarkers. All evidence indicates that Quayle did nothing improper. The same is not clear in regard to his military record. Rather than going to Vietnam in 1969, Quayle signed up with the Indiana National Guard. Recent reports suggest that he used his family's influence to have his name bumped up on the list so that the Guard would take him and he would not have to see combat duty...

...move, applauded by abortion foes, was prompted by a National Institutes of Health proposal to treat Parkinson's patients with fetal brain tissue, a technique used for the first time by physicians in Mexico City last January. Reaction to the moratorium ranged from outrage to cautious endorsement. "A complete ban really blocks the prospects of investigating what could be a promising medical procedure," says Dr. Robert Burke, a neurologist at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in Manhattan. A better approach, he thinks, would be to allow research in a few supervised institutions to continue while the debate on the ethical...
