When it seemed that the occasion would be blighted by the decision of his cosponsor, Lincoln cars, to cancel its share of the CBS show, Sullivan quickly found another, Eastman Kodak, eager to split the annual $10 million tab with Mercury cars. He also found a staunch defender when New York Herald Tribune Critic John Crosby wrote of his TV longevity: "There is a great lesson in this for all of us. But I'm damned if I know what it is."

He has also differed with Eisenhower over fiscal policy, arguing that the Administration's unwillingness to be tough with "labor monopolies" has brought on inflation. A Virginia Democrat (Fairfax County), Lawrence calls himself a "liberal conservative," has voted for every G.O.P. presidential candidate since he supported Hoover in 1932. He is considered a bellwether of the far right, but, while many of his views...
