considers presidential bid
WASHINGTON (AP) — For
mer Vice President Dan Quayle
has all but decided to seek the
presidency in 1996 and is begin
ning to lay the groundwork for
a campaign, a close associate
said Monday.
He will begin to campaign for
Republican congressional and
gubernatorial candidates and is
planning major speeches to try
out possible themes for the
1996 campaign, according to
the associate, who spoke on con
dition of anonymity.
Quayle recently returned
with his family from a long vaca
tion, during which they dis
cussed whether he should seek
the Republican nomination. All
indications are that the answer
is yes, said the friend who spoke
to Quayle after the vacation.
Another associate said
Quayle has made clear to friends
that he would like to run and
continues to evaluate the feasi
bility of a race by contacting po
tential campaign contributors.

book, which has sold more that
500,000 copies, to give him ac

Families
continue
to evolve
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Nearly 10 million America:
children live in families
which there is a-stepparent
siblings who are less than fa
brothers and sisters, the Censi
Bureau reports.
On the other hand, 33.4 mi
lion children live in “nuclei
families” — that is, with to
biological parents and any In
brothers or sisters.
Those youngsters under
18 in nuclear families account
for 50.8 percent of all young pe
pie, according to the report, "ft
Diverse Living Arrangements
Children, Summer 1991.”
While many past studii
have reported the relationsh
of children to the head of
household, Census officials
this was the first to relate
dren to all members of t
household.
The bureau noted that tt
“decline of the American famil
continues to be a controversi:
topic,” with many people consifl
ering the nuclear family the tr:
ditional unit. Census rl
searchers limited their study
reporting the numbers of vat
ous family and househo
arrangements, however.
The study disclosed shat
differences in children’s livit
arrangements by race and H
panic origin.
For example, 56.4 percent
white children resided inr;
clear families with both pa
ents, while just 25.9 percent
black youngsters lived in st
households.
For Hispanics the figure*
37.8 percent of youngsters, H
panics can be of any race at
thus are also counted amot
blacks and whites.
One-parent families were::
next largest component, a
counting for 24.0 percent oft
children. Mom was the pare
in 21.2 percent.
Among white youngster:
19.1 percent lived in one-paret
families, with mothers accent
ing for 16.4 percent. Some 4S|
percent of black youths were
one-parent families, 46.7 pet
cent with their mother, h
31.1 percent of Hispanic youtf
lived with one parent, 28.5 pt
cent with mother.
Among the 9.8 million cb>
dren in “blended families 1 ’
those with a stepparent or
stepsibling or half-sibling—t
most common situation was:
a child to have a half-brother
half-sister. This was the cat
for nearly 5 million youngster
or 50.6 percent of young peof
in blended families.
There were 21.1 percent
families with a stepparent^
18.3 percent living with a stf
parent and a half-sibling.
The study also found 7.9 it
lion youngsters living in exter
ed families, that is with the «j
dition of other people inti
household.
Having grandmother live
was the most common, 25,2 p
cent of the cases, followed by if
percent with both grandpare (
but only 3.9 percent with) 11
granddad on hand.
