  Here it is, fresh from this morning's paper (Philadelphia Inquirer):

   DETROIT - Vice President Quayle said yesterday that he would be "at a
   big disadvantage" in debates with Al Gore because he attended public
   schools rather than expensive private schools such as Gore attended.

   "He grew up in Washington, D.C., and he's the son of a wealthy U.S.
   Senator," said Quayle, the grandson of the founder of the Pulliam
   newspaper chain.

   "He went to the most expensive private schools in Washington, D.C.,
   and I'm the product of the public schools," said Quayle, who attended
   public schools in Indiana and Arizona and a private college, DePauw
   University.

   Gore attended St. Albans, an exclusive prep school, and Harvard
   University.

   "I'm at a big disadvantage, but we'll do all right," Quayle said.

   Quayle made the remarks as he toured an exhibit of U.S. products
   made for sale overseas.  His spokesman, David Beckwith, said later
   that the vice president had been joking.

   "He had a big smile on his face [ }8-) ] when he made those remarks,"
   Beckwith said.  "He was having a little fun with the media elite --
   you know, they don't believe anybody from public schools in Huntington,
   Ind., can stay in the same ring with somebody from St. Albans prep
   school and Harvard University."

  So, guess which school recent college freshman Tucker Quayle went to.
  Here's some hints:

      1.  It's located on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C.

      2.  It's the most expensive private school in Washington, D.C.

      3.  It's graduates are considered to be (at least by their parents)
          young men who are highly advantaged over those who went to 
          private school.

      4.  This superiority is thought to be, you might say, beyond debate.
