A DEDICATED HEART SURGEON
Date: 08 March 1985

Some time back, after the second of his transplant patients had died right after surgery because of the rapid failure of the new heart, Dr. Jack Copeland vowed that he would do everything in his power to see that it never happened again. Dr. Copeland's emergency decision Wednesday to defy Federal rules and public controversy by temporarily sustaining a patient with an unapproved artificial heart came as no surprise to many of his colleagues and patients, who described him as a brilliant surgeon who was unusually dedicated to his patients. ''With all his patients, he does whatever has to be done,'' said 17- year-old David Mendoza of Phoenix, who has had two new hearts transplanted by Dr. Copeland. ''He gives you close personal attention and you know he's right on top of your situation. I trusted him with my life twice.''

MAYOR WITHDRAWS FROM TV PROGRAM WITH 2 COLUMNISTS
Date: 07 March 1985
Mayor Koch withdrew yesterday from a scheduled television appearance with two black columnists whose work he recently called ''racist.'' He said it ''would not be in the best interests of a unified city'' to go ahead with the program. The Mayor had previously agreed to appear on the program, WABC's ''Like It Is,'' with Les Payne of Newsday and Earl Caldwell of The Daily News to discuss the Mayor's record and the political situation facing minority groups. But ''upon reflection and after lengthy discussions with others,'' he changed his mind, he said in a letter to the program's host, Gil Noble.

On Wednesday, as frantic negotiations were under way between the owners of United Press International and the troubled news agency's principal creditor, some U.P.I. staff members began clearing out their desks amid reports of bouncing payroll checks and fears of imminent bankruptcy. But yesterday, after the announcement of an agreement that will allow operations to continue and could stabilize U.P.I.'s financial status, payroll funds were freed and morale soared. ''There were a lot of people who felt like cornered rats,'' said Paul Westpheling, business editor for the U.P.I. Radio Network in Washington, ''but we feel like a back door has opened up.'' Douglas F. Ruhe and William E. Geissler, who own about 90 percent of U.P.I. stock, have agreed to make the bulk of it available to the company's vendors in exchange for forgiving outstanding debts estimated at about $12 million. That does not include about $5 million to $7 million in notes from the Foothill Financial Corporation, a Los Angeles-based lender.

As founder and editor of Roll Call, the durable weekly newspaper that chronicles the comings and goings and gossip of Capitol Hill, Sid Yudain is almost as much a Congressional fixture as Senate bean soup. For 35 years he has played the role of Congressional observer, confidant, crony and critic, first as press secretary to a member of Congress, then as editor, reporter, gossip columnist and advertising salesman all rolled into one for Roll Call, a tabloid that will mark its 30th anniversary in June. Over the years Roll Call has covered anything from filibusters to Congressional seniority revisions. This week it contains articles on Senate freshmen getting plum committee assignments and on the retirement of Senator Russell Long, as well as news about staff shuffles and the birth of a six-pound girl to Senator and Mrs. Donald W. Riegle Jr.

POLL FINDS MOST AMERICANS FEARFUL OF BEING HARMED BY CUTS IN BUDGET

From students worried about paying for college to elderly people afraid they will not be able to make ends meet in their retirement, more than half of all Americans are concerned that they, their families or the nation will be hurt if Congress accepts President Reagan's proposals to reduce domestic spending. That is one of the key findings of the New York Times/CBS News Poll last week, which tapped considerable uneasiness, some of it exacerbated by misconceptions about the President's effort to hold down Government spending. But fear about specific cuts was countered by agreement about general principles, as four Americans in five concurred with Mr. Reagan that spending cuts, not tax increases, were the way to reduce the deficit, The survey found overwhelming support for Federal subsidies to farmers, which Mr. Reagan wants to reduce, and a continuing erosion of support for the military buildup, which Mr. Reagan wants to continue. Thirty-three percent of the public considered the deficit the nation's greatest economic problem, second to unemployment, which was picked by 39 percent. The telephone poll of 1,533 adults conducted Feb. 23-27 has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
