Dear Bob: I am returning your notes of comments on the manuscript of Claire Patterson. I do not as yet know Dr. Boucot's decision in relation to publication but I have no doubt that she will be in touch with you should the article be destined to appear in the Archives of Environmental Health. I am back to work but functioning at reduced speed. Relative to my taking a seminar in Cincinnati, may I inquire whether there are any openings for me in late April or May. With warm regards.

Goldstein, M.D. Medical Director The New York Times Times Square New York, New York (10036) Dear Dave: Thanks for your two letters from your bed of pain and distress. I appreciate your concern for your colleagues, which in frue Ramazzlnl style, was concealed. I'm delighted to know that you are on the mend, and I am especially pleased that you think well of coming to us later. It will be most helpful to have you talk about and demonstrate the advantages to be obtained from the appraisal of epidemiologic data properly collected and duly processed. To most people this is an ephemeral prospect. My sincere thanks also for your comments about Dr. Patterson's paper. Let me remind you, however, that I'd like to have the notes and comments which I gave you, or some sort of copy of them, at your convenience, for I spent some time on them and may have use, later, for the result of this expenditure of time and effort. I may repeat what I said to you (and may have said in my comments), that there are some very useful ideas in this paper, and I hope, sincerely, that these can be presented in a modification of his paper from which some, at least, of the most objectionable features can be eliminated. It is really unfortunate when a brilliant mind is handicapped in its performance by juvenile qualities of personality. With best wishes for your speedy and full recovery. Sincerely, RAK:vr Robert A.

The Kettering Laboratory College of Medicine University of Cincinnati Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio. October 30,1964. Dear Bob: I received your well-wishes from Frank Worden for which I thank you. Perhaps Frank told you that I am getting better and that several weeks of convalescence ought to see me able to return to work on a part-time basis. My deep concern is for my fellow Ramazzinians. There is no doubt that I was brewing the hepatitis at Sterling Forest. The "valedictory" which was circulated was more an earnest effort to allert the membership than was it an occasion to express myself in the usual Ramazzinian fashion. Most of the people who corresponded with me indicated that they took gamma globulin. This was my real objective in sending out the communication. How fortunate that you replaced my lecture at Kettering with Dr. Noro, since in the light of my illness a last minute cancellation would have been mandatory. Once back to work I will try to attempt another date in the Spring, if you still want me and have an opening. There is some advantage to the Spring date apart from convalescence time. We have a whole flock of exciting epidemiologic data coming out of our automated record system here at The Times in relation to morbidity and mortality by Union group We even have an interesting oil mist study under way in our Pressroom using our Composing Room as a control which may shed a little more light on what may be an acceptable threshhold limit in this currently unchartered field. All of this data would lend itself to presentation in Cincinnati along with a basic discussion on my many and varied problems in dealing with multiple Unions. I spoke with Katharine Boucot about Claire Patterson's lead paper and your comments. She thoroughly agreed that if the paper -contd- A L L THE N E WS T H A T ' S FIT TO P R I N T ' Ef 0 0 4 4 1 R . A. Kehoe, M.D. -2 - October 30, 1964. was to be published, there should be a condensation as well as a deletion of all "dirty" personal references. She also agreed that it clearly invited an Editorial from someone with the broad experience you have had. She is not sure that she can obtain the paper for publication but if she does I have no doubt you will be hearing from her. With warm regards. Cordially, Dave. DHG/cm.

Kehoe, M.D. The Kettering Laboratory College of Medicine - Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio. Dear Bob: Under the pressures of an exceedingly heavy schedule, I can only confess to you that I am delighted to waive my Seminar for Friday, October 16th in favor of Leo Noro. You have not only failed to hurt my feelings but actually succeeded in bolstering my morale and maybe even preserving my health. I have ascertained that we can accomodate Leo Noro at . Onchiota. It may be that you may have to have him there as your guest but I think this is something we ought to discuss at the business meeting. Frankly, I don't know how the Rams have accomodated guests in the past but at the $28.00 per day charge at Sterling Forest, plus a liquor surcharge, I don't see how I can, with conscience, add additionally to what will be a financial burden to some of our colleagues. Trust me to be open minded and ask the consensus of the group. Our paths will probably cross at A.P.H.A. but if not, I look forward to being with you at Onchiota Lodge. Cordially, r _____ David H. Goldstein, M.D., Medical Director. DHG/cm. P.S. Unfortunately, I am not free on either October 30th or December 4th. If there ia an opening in the Spring that will suit me fine. A L L THE NE WS T H A T ' S F,T TO P K I N T ' ^ J 0 0 4 4 3 September 21, 1064 David H. Goldstein, M.D. Medical Director The New York Times 229 West 43rd Street New York, New York (10036) Dear Dave: Sidney Lerner tells me that he has invited you to take our Departmental Seminar on Friday, October 16th, and that you have accepted. This, under ordinary cir cumstances, would be all that need be said about this matter, and it would be greatly to my satisfaction. As you probably know, however, Leo Noro of Helsinki is to be in the country in October, and I have just had word from him that he expected to be in Cincinnati on October 15 and 16. This seems too good an opportunity for oUr staff and students to meet and hear from a distinguished member of the Foreign Legion (if he is not he should be) of the Runs, and I'd like to make this possible, formally (we can, of course, find a time for him to meet with che students, other than that of the regular Seminar), provided you would find it just as convenient to come to us on October 30th or on December 4th, both of which are now open dates. I suspect that Leo wili be at the meeting of APHA in New York, and that, through your knowledge of his coming, he will be at the gathering of the Rams. Hiis may not be the case, but 1 think we should have him at the conclave if he can be there. I would be glad to have him there as my guest, if no arrangement has been made. This might be regarded, of course, as a double-barreled form of discourtesy to you, but, If you think as much of Leo as I do, it will not be so. Moreover, I am sure you know that I could not be knowingly discourteous to you. October 16th, as of now, is your engagement, and if, for any reason, you do not choose to relinquish it, we shall expect you tG come, and in that case, we shall deal with Leo as circumstances and hs wishes permit. Of course, the Rams insult each other with deadly skill when they don't mean it, but this really has nothing to do with the Rams, and therefore, I cannot claim the right to do so on any such occasion as this. I can, however, expect you to understand me. Sincerely,(without tongue in cheek) RAK:vr Robert A. Kehoe, M.D
