		Said Turner "Like you were dead." A bit dismayed, Swayze got rid of most of the television make-up he had been wearing, added a toupee to thicken out his sparse thatch, set himself to cultivating an air of friendly animation.
		Swayze is also getting some belated recognition from the two mediums in which he worked for 20 years.
		Early this year, McNaught Syndicate hired Swayze to do a column called "New York," now appearing in 50 newspapers—a sentimental and often arch performance which reminds some readers of the folksy prose of the late O. Mclntyre.

		The charismatic pairing led to their being named to replace Swayze as the anchor team for the newly revamped "NBC News" in October 1956.

		Some of you may be too young to remember the Timex watch commercials featuring John Cameron Swayze.
		I recall, as a kid, watching in amazement as he proceeded to mount a Timex onto the propeller of an outboard motor, lower it into a tub of water and start it.
		After a few minutes in the tub at full power, John would shut off the motor and retrieve the watch and behold "the Timex is still ticking!" By now you're probably wondering what this has to do with metal detecting.

		But as the 1956 political conventions came into focus for the U.S. TV audience, they came to see, hear, and to know Brinkley as a new breed of TV journalist.

		Capitalizing on the country's growing fascination with television, Timex hired veteran newsman John Cameron Swayze to run an elaborate series of torture tests--live on Steve Allen's popular Sunday night program.

		Converted to The Camel News Caravan a year later, it was narrated by John Cameron Swayze, "the nightly monarch of the air." As part of the contract, a Camel cigarette had to be burning visibly on the set, in an ashtray.
		After all, TV news then consisted of little more than an anchor reading the news while easel photos or occasional newsreels were shown.
		In 1956 The Huntley-Brinkley Report replaced John Cameron Swayze's Camel News Caravan, and within four years this fifteen- minute newscast had passed the CBS newscast in the ratings.

		Despite these and other extensive live torture tests, the Timex kept ticking.

		Taped to the propeller of an outboard motor, tumbling over the Grand Coulee Dam, or held fist first by a diver leaping eighty-seven feet from the Acapulco cliffs, the plucky watch that "takes a licking and keeps on ticking" quickly caught the American imagination.
