...began as a reporter of hard news. An A.P. stringer while at Princeton, he scooped the country by revealing the death of Grover Cleveland in 1908.

Assigned to the White House of Woodrow Wilson, who had taught him at Princeton, Lawrence broke the story of Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan's resignation from Wilson's Cabinet. In 1915 he became Washington correspondent for the old New York Evening Post, which soon began sending his daily column to subscribers by telegraph; Lawrence...

Much to his and almost everyone else's surprise, Millionaire Rancher-Banker Dolph Briscoe, 49, found himself in a down-to-the-wire battle with the Republican candidate, Houston History Teacher Henry C. Grover, 45. Grover came out of nowhere for several reasons -the Nixon landslide, Briscoe's own indifferent campaign, the presence of a Mexican-American candidate who drew many Chicano votes that normally would have gone to the Democrats. Backed by a cabal of ultra-right Houston businessmen, Grover did not mount...
