The former vice president vis ited the Indiana University Med ical Center emergency room Sunday and got the diagnosis, said Anne Hathaway, executive director for Issues 96, a political action committee headed by Quayle. “He wasn’t feeling well and he knew he’s on the road most of this week,” Hathaway said. “He wanted to make sure he was on top of his health, and he is.” He’ll take medication and “plans to keep his full travel schedule,” she said. Quayle is preparing for a pos sible run for the GOP presiden tial nomination in 1996. CHARLOTTE AMALIE, U.S. Virgin Islands (AP) — While the rest of America gobbled turkey and trimmings, Vice President A1 Gore and his family had an untraditional Thanksgiving — under water. Gore, his wife. Tipper, and two of their daughters strapped on scuba gear and splashed in the Caribbean during their holiday week end in the Virgin Is lands. Dive oper ator Chris Sawyer took the Gores on two 20- minute dives on shallow reefs. Between dives, they chatted about the history of the islands, the environment and what else? — local politics. Sawyer said Monday. “It’s something I’ll remember for a long time,” Sawyer said. Sawyer, who normally charges $595 for a half-day dive, would not say what he charged the vice president. The Gores arrived Wednes day, stayed on St. Thomas and left Sunday. Gore WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Prince and Princess Takamado of Japan are on an artistic mis sion.

Families try to recover after storm Tornadoes Damage from Sunday's st&rm system: Areas struck IF by tornadoes / IND. W/' \ ILL. /-"x; / ' GERMANTOWN, Tenn. (AP) — When a tornado smashed two dozen homes in this well-to-do Mem phis suburb, neighbors dived into the rubble and rescued chil dren by looking for their hands sticking up from the wreckage. There was little for survivors to do Monday, a day after a half- dozen twisters tore through western Tennessee, killing three people in one Germantown house and one in a rural area. The last of the bodies were re covered early Monday morning. “We’re just looking for family pictures and things. That’s what we came to find. There’s really not much salvageable other than pictures,” said Karen Glaus, whose house was flattened by the storm. The twisters were part of a vast storm system that was still producing rain and snow across parts of the Northeast on Mon day. The Tennessee tornado deaths were among 14 fatalities Sunday from North Dakota, where snow and ice glazed highways, to Georgia, where ... OHIO w. VA MO.r " ' \ J «5T KY. V. VA.

The storm stranded or delayed hundreds of travelers; some of them didn’t re sume their journeys until Mon day morning. The hardest hit area of Ten nessee was this Memphis suburb, where three people attending a family reunion were killed. Sixteen people — nine chil dren and seven adults — were at the get-together when a house collapsed around them. Two of the bodies were not pulled from the wreckage until early Monday. Many of the reunion survivors were pulled to safety by neighbors who attacked the rubble with their bare hands. “I could see children’s hands sticking up and we just grabbed them and pulled them out,” said neighbor Steve Johnston. Survivors were treated for cuts, abrasions and a few broken bones, said Police Chief Eddie Boatwright. y GA. < v „ S.C. 100 miles \ 1100 km AP/Alex Sibirny Tuesday • November 29, j Fleiss sells si like luxury cars, DAsai i LOS ANGELES (AP)^ Fleiss marketed prostitutes; salesman hawks a luxury promising women so beatu there was no competitio; prosecutor said Monday da: closing arguments in her dering trial.
