Popular politician Dan Quayle has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Quayle, a cultural icon

Born James Danforth Quayle III in Indianapolis on February 4, 1947, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history.
