Grey, Then Blue. Nor did Dr. Trimmer mention ether the next morning, when he and Anesthesiologist Lloyd Goodwin were preparing Michael Ketchum, 12, for a hernia operation. Dr. Goodwin injected fluid from the same Surital bottle/and there was the same instant reaction of spasms and coughing. The boy complained that the injection burned, but Dr. Goodwin gave more of the same fluid, and the coughing ceased. The operation went smoothly, and the boy seemed to be doing well...
...doctors got ready to operate on Mrs. Lurea Covington, 24, a mother of two, Goodwin injected liquid from the same bottle and got the same cough-spasm reaction. Only now did he suspect that there might be something wrong with the analgesic mixture. He mixed a fresh batch, gave some to Mrs. Covington, and her' operation continued with no other anesthetic. She went to the recovery room alongside Michael Ketchum. It was not long before the boy turned ashen grey, then blue, from insufficient oxygen in his blood. So did Mrs. Covington. Despite frantic attempts at resuscitation...
Fresh Recruits. No one on the present White House staff-or possibly in Washington-can match Dick Goodwin's swift facility for custom prose.

Helping out with speeches if necessary will be Press Secretary Bill Moyers, General Aide Jack Valenti and Special Assistant Douglass Cater, an old journalistic hand...
Rank on Rank.

Books & Beer. Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Theodore Sorensen, who each earned $22,500 a year at the White House, expect to make $500,000 apiece on their memoirs of the Kennedy years. Speechwriter Richard Goodwin, who resigned last week, has been offered $250,000 for his J.F.K.-L.B.J. reminiscences-if he cares to write them. Lawyer Myer Feldman, who quit last March as counsel to the President, is making many times his $28,500 White House salary as a partner in a Washington law firm. And, of course, Feldman is writing his memoirs...
