Louis George Cowan, until last week president of the CBS-TV network, seemed to fit the pattern. Although he was a highly successful independent TV packager, Cowan moved into the upper echelons of CBS-TV four years ago, largely because of the sudden success of a single, Cowan-made show: $64,000 Question...
