MILESTONES, Page 66
RESIGNING. C. Everett Koop, 72, outspoken U.S. Surgeon General
since 1981; in Washington. Bearded and bedecked in the official
gold-trimmed uniform of the U.S. Public Health Service, he cut an
imposing and controversial figure with crusades against cigarette
smoking and for the use of condoms as a weapon to fight the spread
of AIDS. Koop, who has drawn heavy criticism from fellow
conservatives, notified the President last week of his intention
to leave in July. He plans to write books and work in TV on health
issues.
