MARILYN QUAYLE RECUPERATING

Marilyn Quayle, wife of Vice President Dan Quayle, is recuperating following surgery over the weekend for cervical cancer detected in a Pap smear earlier this year, sources close to the family said Sunday.

Despite her high-profile involvement in a breast cancer awareness campaign, the Quayles appeared reluctant to disclose full details of her operation, even keeping secret the hospital where it was performed.

A statement released Saturday by Quayle's press secretary, David Beckwith, also did not reveal what the actual diagnosis was.

But the sources Sunday said the operation was for cervical cancer that had been detected earlier this year. It was not an emergency procedure, according to the sources, who spoke only on condition they not be named. - Associated Press
