Although the 52-year-old Quayle is part of that generation, he casts himself as the "standard bearer" for those of all ages who embrace the values of the World War II generation. "I'm a product of the '60s," Quayle said in a telephone interview yesterday. "The civil rights movement was great. But there was a lot of tragedy, the assassinations, the race riots; the Vietnam issue was a no-win situation. "Many people in very powerful positions have a great deal of nostalgia for that," he said. "When I was living it, I enjoyed it, but I'm not so sure that it was good for us." Quayle said he "missed the drug culture in college. It was just coming in when I was leaving college." After Quayle graduated from DePauw University in Indiana, he went into the National Guard and law school, got married and started a family. In a new book, the Republican presidential candidate attacks the liberal values of the 1960s and an "opinion elite" in the media, universities and entertainment business who grew up during the decade and now are in positions of influence. "We continue to pay a price for the excesses of the crowd that preached free drugs, free love, free lunch and freedom from responsibility," Quayle writes in the book, "Worth Fighting For." He uses the book to outline his plans for a 30 percent, across-the-board tax cut, his anti-abortion stance, support for term limits and protection of the elderly from any benefit cuts. - --- MAP posted-by: Derek Rea
