LEONOR K. SULLIVAN
Leonor K. Sullivan, the first woman from Missouri to serve in the United States House of
Representatives, was born Leonor Alice Kretzer, August 21, 1902, in St. Louis. She attended
public and private schools in St. Louis, including Washington University. Prior to her marriage,
Mrs. Sullivan pursued a business career and eventually became the director of the St. Louis
Comptometer School. She married Missouri Congressman John B. Sullivan on December 27,
1941, and served as his administrative assistant and campaign manager until his death in
January, 1951.
Following her husband's death, Mrs. Sullivan unsuccessfully attempted to win the local
Democratic party's nomination to succeed Congressman Sullivan in the special election. The
seat was lost to a Republican candidate. In 1952, Leonor K. Sullivan running on her own,
without party support, defeated six opponents in the primary election to become the Democratic
nominee for the Third Congressional District. In the general election, she defeated her
Republican opponent and recaptured the seat once held by her husband. Mrs. Sullivan
represented the Third Congressional District until her retirement in 1976.
While in Congress, Leonor K. Sullivan was known as a champion of consumer issues and
she had a key role in enacting legislation to improve the quality of food. The Poultry
Inspection Law and the Food Additives Act are just two of her important triumphs. As
chairman of the Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs of the House Committee on Banking and
Currency, Mrs. Sullivan was responsible for the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968, which
included the Truth in Lending Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970. Mrs. Sullivan
also authored the original food stamp plan to distribute government surplus food to the needy
and she worked to solve the housing problems in our cities. At the time of her retirement, she
was the senior member of the House Committee on Banking, Currency, and Housing. She was a
member of the National Commission on Food Marketing, 1964-66; the National Commission on
Mortgage Interest Rates, 1969; the National Commission on Consumer Finance, 1969-72; and
she helped found the Consumer Federation of America in 1966.
Mrs. Sullivan served as chairman of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries. Her support of the American Merchant Marine earned her the American Maritime
Industry's Admiral of the Ocean Seas Award (AOTOS) in 1973. The men and women who
served in the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine continuously honored Mrs. Sullivan for her
support, understanding, and dedication. Always active in waterways projects, she fought to
allow the 51 year old DELTA QUEEN to continue as an overnight excursion vessel. Mrs.
Sullivan's work as chairman of the Subcommittee on Panama was especially important as she
became involved with the political, economic, and social challenges of the Canal Zone and the
people who lived and worked there.
Leonor K. Sullivan worked hard for St. Louis. She sponsored legislation to fund the
development of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial on the St. Louis Riverfront, to keep
St. Louis a well managed port city on the Mississippi trade route, and to preserve the buildings
so important to the history and heritage of St. Louis. Wharf Street has been renamed Leonor K.
Sullivan Boulevard to honor her support of the Gateway Arch project and the Jefferson
National Expansion Memorial.
Following her retirement, Mrs. Sullivan returned to her river bluff home which
overlooked the Mississippi River. She remained active in civic affairs, serving on numerous
boards and committees. She became a director of Southwest Bank, chairman of the Consumer
Advisory Council to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, a member of the
Board of Directors of Downtown St. Louis, Inc., a member of the Lay Advisory Board of
Mount St. Rose Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, and she sponsored a consumer award
program through the Better Business Bureau. Mrs. Sullivan was always in demand as a featured
speaker at business, educational, and social functions.
In 1980, Mrs. Sullivan married Russell L. Archibald, a retired vice president of the
American Furnace Company. Mr. Archibald died March 19, 1987. Leonor K. Sullivan died, in
St. Louis, on September 1, 1988.

THE LEO NOR K. SULLIVAN COLLECTION
Before her retirement, Leonor K. Sullivan made arrangements to donate her congress ional
papers, correspondence, and memorabilia to St. Louis University Law Library. Mrs. Sullivan
chose St. Louis University Law Library because her husband, Congressman John B. Sullivan
(1897 -1951 ), was a graduate of the law school, having received his LL. B. degree in 1922, and
his LL. M. degree in 1923. In 1965, Mrs. Sullivan founded a scholarship at St. Louis University
for young women interested in studying political science.
The collection covers Mrs. Sullivan's 24 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and is
arranged according to her own subject headings. In this way, the materials provide insight into
the way her office files and correspondence were organized. Mrs. Sullivan was known as one of
the hardest working members of Congress and the wealth of materials in her collection attests to
this. She had a tremendous concern for the average American family and much of her work
dealt with their needs. Mrs. Sullivan often said the · best legislative ideas came from
constituents, so she read every letter ever sent to her. Not only did she learn how the voters
felt about current issues, but where there were problems which needed to be current issues.
Papers from Leonor K. Sullivan's years as a member of the House Merchant Marine
Committee and the Banking and Currency Committee provide background information for much
of the legislation proposed during the period. Mrs. Sullivan was known as a consumer advocate
long before such a position was popular and her efforts to improve the quality of food, drugs,
and cosmetics are well documented. Materials are also available on Mrs. Sullivan's struggle for
credit protection for the consumer, truth-in-lending, and fair credit reporting. Mrs. Sullivan
was a strong supporter of the American Merchant Marine, the U.S. supervision of the Panama
Canal, and the development of America's inland waterways. Her collection includes in-depth
information on all these areas.
Local St. Louis concerns are well represented in Leonor K. Sullivan's papers. She spent
untold hours on the development of the Gateway Arch, the Jefferson National Expansion
Memorial, and the port of St. Louis. She worked hard to maintain and increase the river traffic
which is so important to St. Louis.
After her retirement, Mrs. Sullivan continued to receive letters from former constituents
and friends. She was active in civic affairs and her opinion on current issues was frequently
solicited. The collection includes newspaper clippings, letters, and personal materials from this
post-retirement period.
Persons interested in using the Leonor K. Sullivan Collection should contact Joanne C.
Vogel or Eileen H. Searls at St. Louis University Law Library, (314)658-2755.

A Cr unimodal map with an arbitrary fast growth of the number of periodic points
No full textIn this paper we present a surprising example of a C(r) unimodal map of an interval f : I -> I whose number of periodic points P(n)(f) = vertical bar{x is an element of I : f(n) x = x}vertical bar grows faster than any ahead given sequence along a subsequence (n)k = 3(k). This example also shows that 'non-flatness' of critical points is necessary for the Martens de Melo van Strien theorem [M. Martens, W. de Melo and S. van Strien. Julia-Fatou-Sullivan theory for real one-dimensional dynamics. Acta Math. 168(3-4) (1992), 273-318] to hold
Conservation is sexy! What makes this so, and what does this make? An engagement with celebrity and the environment
No full textThis essay offers an engagement with Daniel Brockington’s (2009) recent book Celebrity and the environment. I highlight the book’s contribution to debate regarding processes of human displacement arising through biodiversity
conservation under conditions of neoliberal capitalism. I fi rst situate the book in relation to contemporary
perspectives on displacement, justice, and human rights, using examples to illustrate complex and dynamic patterns
of conservation inclusions and exclusions globally. This is followed by a summary of Brockington’s typology of
conservation celebrities, and of the ways in which celebrities assist with the amassing of conservation finance. I proceed to consider the roles of a celebrity-saturated mass media (and mediated) ‘spectacle of conservation’ in structuring social and consumptive engagements with the ‘non-human’ world globally. I draw attention to how diverse peoples in conservation landscapes might become part of the spectacle of conservation by reconfiguring themselves as cultural objects of touristic consumerism in a script not necessarily of their choosing. By way of acknowledging the significance of social networks and alliances in infl uencing conservation perspectives and
practice, I close with a disclaimer regarding my own long-term collaborations with the author of Celebrity and
the environment
Searching for swept-up hydrogen and helium in the late-time spectra of 11 nearby Type Ia supernovae
No full textThe direct detection of a stellar system that explodes as a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) has not yet been successful. Various indirect methods have been used to investigate SN Ia progenitor systems but none have produced conclusive results. A prediction of single-degenerate models is that H- (or He-) rich material from the envelope of the companion star should be swept up by the SN ejecta in the explosion. Seven SNe Ia have been analysed to date looking for signs of H-rich material in their late-time spectra and none were detected. We present results from new late-time spectra of 11 SNe Ia obtained at the Very Large Telescope using XShooter and FORS2. We present the tentative detection of H? emission for SN 2013ct, corresponding to ?0.007 M? of stripped/ablated companion star material (under the assumptions of the spectral modelling). This mass is significantly lower than expected for single-degenerate scenarios, suggesting that >0.1 M? of H-rich is present but not observed. We do not detect H? emission in the other 10 SNe Ia. This brings the total sample of normal SNe Ia with non-detections (<0.001–0.058 M?) of H-rich material to 17 events. The simplest explanation for these non-detections is that these objects did not result from the explosion of a CO white dwarf accreting matter from a H-rich companion star via Roche lobe overflow or symbiotic channels. However, further spectral modelling is needed to confirm this. We also find no evidence of He-emission features, but models with He-rich companion stars are not available to place mass limits
A Look at the United States 101st Colored Infantry and the Free Life of John Sullivan
No full textM.J. MorganPhil Cunningham provides a bio-sketch of former African American Union soldier John Sullivan, who farmed in southern Wabaunsee County in the 1880s. A member of the 101st Tennessee Colored Infantry, formed in western Tennessee to support the Union cause, Sullivan and fellow veterans endured the violence of Reconstruction. Sullivan, the son of a slave and a plantation owner, migrated to Kansas and became a successful homesteader and community member. A group of Tennessee black Union soldiers is buried in Eskridge Cemetery. The author includes interviews with descendents and an analysis and photos of Sullivan's headstone insignia
KCNQ/M currents in sensory neurons: Significance for pain therapy
No full textNeuronal hyperexcitability is a feature of epilepsy and both inflammatory and neuropathic pain. M currents [I-K(M)] play a key role in regulating neuronal excitability, and mutations in neuronal KCNQ2/3 subunits, the molecular correlates of I-K(M), have previously been linked to benign familial neonatal epilepsy. Here, we demonstrate that KCNQ/M channels are also present in nociceptive sensory systems. I-K(M) was identified, on the basis of biophysical and pharmacological properties, in cultured neurons isolated from dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) from 17-d-old rats. Currents were inhibited by the M-channel blockers linopirdine (IC50, 2.1 muM) and XE991 (IC50, 0.26 muM) and enhanced by retigabine (10 muM). The expression of neuronal KCNQ subunits in DRG neurons was confirmed using reverse transcription-PCR and single-cell PCR analysis and by immunofluorescence. Retigabine, applied to the dorsal spinal cord, inhibited C and Adelta fiber-mediated responses of dorsal horn neurons evoked by natural or electrical afferent stimulation and the progressive "windup" discharge with repetitive stimulation in normal rats and in rats subjected to spinal nerve ligation. Retigabine also inhibited responses to intrapaw application of carrageenan in a rat model of chronic pain; this was reversed by XE991. It is suggested that I-K(M) plays a key role in controlling the excitability of nociceptors and may represent a novel analgesic target
