Nation IN BRIEF : FLORIDA : Quayle Gives Speech on Family Values

Former Vice President Dan Quayle spoke of family values to about 3,000 religious conservatives, while 1,000 protesters outside called for tolerance and an end to bigotry. Addressing delegates to a three-day “Reclaim America for Christ” conference in Ft. Lauderdale, Quayle criticized rap music “that degrades women or advocates killing cops” and repeated his complaint that TV’s “Murphy Brown” glorifies single mothers. The conference, aimed in part at helping Christians win elections, renewed questions about Quayle’s future. He jokingly told reporters he thinks of running for President in 1996 “probably once or twice an hour.”
