<p> 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.
