Surprised Senators tried clumsily to soften the blow. Utah Republican Jake Garn assured Sorensen that his integrity had not been in question. Said the Senator: "I thought you were the wrong man for the wrong position." Indiana Democrat Birch Bayh told Sorensen that some people were out to get him "because they don't want a clean broom at the CIA."

Lugar ran a close race in 1974 against Senator Birch Bayh, a far more popular figure in the state than Hartke. Despite his dubious distinction of being "Richard Nixon's favorite mayor," Lugar projects an image of integrity and freshness to the voters...

More important, they insist that splitting up the industry would stiffen its approach to oil-producing countries, which have quintupled the price of crude in recent years. A fully integrated company, the critics say, has a vested interest in playing ball with the producers, while a marketing and refining firm without producing interests...
