Bill Lawrence (news personality)
William H. "Bill" Lawrence (January 29, 1916 — March 2, 1972) was an American journalist and television news personality whose 40-year career as a reporter began in 1932 and included a 20-year stint (1941–61) with ''The New York Times'', for which he reported from major fronts of World War II, Korean War and, subsequently, as the newspaper's White House correspondent. In 1961 he joined ABC News where, for nearly 11 years, he served as the network's political affairs editor and, during his first year, as an evening news anchorman. The recipient of a 1965 Peabody Award, he was posthumously honored with the Trustees Award at the 1972 Emmy Awards.〔("Britons and 'Family' Major Emmy Winners" (''Kentucky New Era'', May 15, 1972) )〕
==Newspaper career==
A native Nebraskan, Lawrence was born in the state capital, Lincoln, and briefly attended the city's University of Nebraska before joining the hometown newspaper, ''Lincoln Star'' as a 17-year-old cub reporter. In 1935, at the age of 19, he moved to the Associated Press and, two years later, to the United Press. The first major assignment he covered for UP was the 1936–37 Flint Sit-Down Strike against General Motors and, having won plaudits for his reporting, was reassigned to Washington where, at the beginning of 1941, Arthur Krock, Washington bureau chief of ''The New York Times'', was impressed by his assertiveness in ferreting out news and offered him a position as one of the bureau's reporters.〔("William H. Lawrence, 56, Dies; National Editor of A. B. C. News; Specialist in Political Affairs Joined Network After 20 Years With Times" (''The New York Times'', March 3, 1972) )〕
In his twenty years with ''The Times'', the 1940s byline, "By William H. Lawrence" and, in the 1950s and 1960–61, "By W. H. Lawrence" appeared over coverage from World War II, the Korean War and the Cold War. His battlefront reporting took him to Okinawa, Guam, Japan and Moscow, where he was assigned as a war correspondent in 1943 and, during the immediate postwar period, continued to file stories from such diverse locations as Poland, the Balkans and South America.〔("W.H. Lawrence Joins A.B.C. News Bureau" (''The New York Times'', May 30, 1961) )〕 Between 1950 and 1953, he spent months in Korea covering the war and interviewing soldiers in a series of personal human interest articles which appeared in ''The Times''.
In 1959 he served as president of the National Press Club and appeared in an episode of the United States Army television documentary series ''The Big Picture'' where he was first shown in a film clip introducing General Maxwell D. Taylor who, in June, made a speech to the Club on the occasion of his retirement as Army Chief of Staff.〔(Edson, Peter. "Washington Notebook: Retiring General Taylor Still Has Some Missions" (''The Victoria Advocate'', July 5, 1959) )〕 In the following segment, ''The Big Picture'' host, Master Sergeant Stuart Queen, asked Lawrence to recount his Korean War experiences from nine years earlier, during the September 1950 Battle of Inchon and Second Battle of Seoul, as well as the individual and private face of war that he saw by remaining alongside the common fighting man.〔(Master Sergeant Stuart Queen, host of 1950s television documentary series, ''The Big Picture'', interviews Bill Lawrence about his coverage of the Korean War )〕 By 1959, as in the two preceding years, the great majority of Lawrence's efforts were devoted to the Washington political scene, with almost all of the stories appearing on the front page, including the final one he wrote for ''The Times'', datelined May 26, 1961.〔(Lawrence, W. H. "KENNEDY ASKS 1.8 BILLION THIS YEAR TO ACCELERATE SPACE EXPLORATION, ADD FOREIGN AID, BOLSTER DEFENSE; MOON TRIP URGED He Assures Congress Nation Is Ready to Take On Burden President Asks 1.8 Billion This Year to Push Space Tasks, Foreign Aid and Arms MOON TRIP URGED AS A MAJOR GOAL Kennedy Tells Congressmen Nation Is Ready to Make Necessary Sacrifices" (front page banner headline—''The New York Times'', May 26, 1961) )〕
