This looks much better:

In[2]:=
data = {{10^(-6), 72}, {10^(-5), 60}, {10^(-4), 45},
    {10^(-3), 31}, {10^(-2), 33}, {10^(-1), 32}};
<< "Graphics`Graphics`"
LogLinearListPlot[data, Ticks ->
    {{{10^(-6), "\!\(10\^-6\)"}, {10^(-5), "\!\(10\^-5\)"},
      {10^(-4), "\!\(10\^-4\)"}, {10^(-3), "\!\(10\^-3\)"},
      {10^(-2), "\!\(10\^-2\)"}, {10^(-1), "\!\(10\^-1\)"}},
     Automatic}, PlotRange -> {0, 100}];

Write the superscript expression with "10 Ctrl-6 -6", etc.
