Perhaps this is a heretical thought, but it seems to me that Quayle is actually doing a *good job* as chairman of the NSC. Now, maybe this is just because it's full of competent people; but even then, it shows he's listening to them. -- Jon Leech (leech@apple.com) Apple Integrated Systems __@/

WHAT!!! This statement shows a complete lack of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and you can expect a visit from the Thought Police very soon! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Seriously, though, Quale looks to be one of those people whose tongue is disengaged from his brain. Gerald Ford is another. It doesn't mean the man is an idiot. You're right, he *does* seem to be doing a good job as chairman of the NSC. -- "Ain't nothin' in the middle Mike Van Pelt o' the road, 'cept a yellow Headland Technology/Video 7 line and dead 'possums." ...ames!vsi1!v7fs1!mvp

(Some news magazine was making fun of him for holding an RPG rocket launcher backwards ... big deal. That only would've been remarkable if it had been loaded.) Ronald Reagan made gaffes all the time -- "The bombing starts in five minutes!" sticks out -- and all it ever did for him was make him more popular.
