Vice President Dan Quayle apparently doesn't have good enough connections to get tickets for Monday night's championship NCAA basketball game in Minneapolis.
Quayle wanted to attend if Indiana, his home state team, got into the final."He has a huge entourage," said Cyndy Brucato, Gov. Arne Carlson's press secretary. "Someone from the vice president's staff contacted the NCAA asking for tickets, and the NCAA told them they didn't have any."
Quayle's staff called Carlson's office, which doesn't have tickets, Brucato said.
Carlson, a fellow Republican, bought 10 tickets that he gave away, said Brucato, who says those 10 people have no intention of returning them.
