Pacific University will host
former Vice President Dan
Quayle and environmental
lawyer Robert Kennedy Jr. at
the next Tom McCall Forum in
Portland on Feb. 19, 1997.
The 15th annual Tom Mc
Call Forum will address one
of Governor McCall’s most
heartfelt issues: “Striking the
Balance: The Economy and
the Environment’. Tickets will
go on sale after Labor Day.
The event will be staged at
the Arlene Schnitzer Concert
Hall in Portland.
From his tumultuous first
appearance on the national
scene to his controversial bat
tles with Hollywood, the me
dia and the legal profession,
Dan Quayle...in an age of
‘lake no prisoners” politics
and “gotcha” journalism...
found himself the target of un
precedented hostility. After
suffering defeat with Presi
dent Bush in their 1992 re-
election bid, Quayle wrote a
best-selling memoir of his ex
periences, Standing Firm, in
which he defended his politi
cal stands and took on the
media for biased reporting of
his vice-presidency.

The capacity to combine eco

strong environmental ethic
was crafted from leadership
in Oregon which looked for
common ground, not partisan
advantage.
“Our two guests, repre
