...then put to work grinding out press releases. The same people who make a big issue of Michael Dukakis' veto of a law requiring people to recite the Pledge of Allegiance -- implying, though never saying, that this casts doubt on Dukakis' patriotism -- insist that it is somehow a cheap shot to ask what Dan Quayle's evasion of combat service in 1969 says about the boisterous hawkish values he professes to hold today.

The Lebanese terrorist confessed to participating in the 1985 hijacking of a TWA airliner to Beirut but denied that he murdered one of the plane's passengers, U.S. Navy Diver Robert Stethem.
