"I live between the second and fourth floors of this building," he said with a regretful look. "It has been a difficult two years.

After all, Lazarus was in the tomb for only four days, but it took Lott, 65, four years to mount the improbable comeback that culminated in his election last Wednesday as minority whip, the second most powerful G.O.P. position in the Senate.
