Standing Firm, by Dan Quayle (HarperCollins, 402 pp., $25)

DAN QUAYLE has made a mistake. The mistake is his book, Standing Firm, which will enhance neither his reputation nor that of the Administration he served so ably and thanklessly. He goes to some lengths to defend George Bush and his policies, and Mr. Quayle’s loyalty to a man who was admirably loyal to him is a mark of unimpeachable character.
