BayCoast’s new ambulatory care
center advances local health cate
»
| ■ ealth care in Baytown takes another large step forward with the
;i| grand opening of the Ambulatory Care Center at BayCoast Med-
ical Center.
Dr. Denton Cooley, renowned heart surgeon and founder of the Texas
Heart Institute in Houston, was on hand as keynote speaker for a VIP
reception Thursday evening. A public open house for the facility, locat-
ed on Highway 146 south of Loop 201, will be held from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. Saturday.
The new 60.000-square-foot addition at BayCoast represents the cul-
mination of the merger of Baytown’s old Gulf Coast Hospital and Bay-
Coast Hospital (formerly Humana).
It contains state-of-the-art facilities for outpatient surgery, diagnostic
services and emergency care.
In his keynote address, Cooley said he thought of Baytown and
Houston as part of the same community as far as health care is con-
cerned. BayCoast’s relationship with St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital,
and San Jacinto Methodist Hospital’s connections with the Methodist
Hospitals, gives Baytown residents access to some of the best health
care facilities and physicians in the country.
But having first-class primary medical care in Baytown is equally
important.
BayCoast Medical Center and San Jacinto Methodist Hospital are
providing that first-class care.
It’s something we can all feel good about.

properly maintains a critical distance,
sharply condemning (for example) Gold-
water’s lame excuses for backing Ford
over Reagan in 1976, when the truth is
that he was simply jealous.
But Edwards’ final evaluation of the
craggy Arizonan is on balance favorable,
as of course it ought to be. As he writes,
Goldwater’s “candidacy marked the true
beginning of a tectonic shift in American
politics.”
n the years 1961 -64 the trajectories of
' two very different lives intersected
with historic consequences for Ameri-
can politics.
Barry Goldwater was the scion of an
Arizona merchant dynasty who had been
elected to the U.S. Senate and become the
chief political spokesman for the growing
conservative movement. F. Clifton White
was a gangly upstate New Yorker who
had carved out a career in the engine
room of Republican politics, as a manag-
er rather than a candidate. In the early
1960s White put together a national orga-
nization that, to general astonishment,
succeeded in giving Goldwater the
Republican presidential nomination on
the first ballot at the convention of 1964.

the 1964 nomination, correctly guessing
that he would lose the election. But he
It was, however, Clif White whose

and-bolts machinery of the Republican
Party, and converted an idealistic dream
into a powerful political force.
The title of White’s memoirs, “Politics
as a Noble Calling” (Jameson Books),
sums up the respect he felt for his profes-
sion, and its text recounts a life that com-
bined matchless political skills with a
quiet dedication to the Republican Party
and the conservative movement.
Today in history
Edwards, as a political novice, worked
for the Goldwater campaign, and his
account is naturally liveliest when he is
describing the various triumphs and dis-
asters that he witnessed personally. But
he misses nothing important, and has
turned up some brand-new nuggets of
staggering size.
We all know, for example, what hap-
pened to Richard Nixon when several
low-level agents of his campaign broke
into the Watergate offices of the Democ-
ratic National Committee in 1972. But
After that, the two men went their sepa-
rate ways again. But the Goldwater nomi-
nation, despite his subsequent defeat by
Lyndon Johnson, permanently shifted
control of the Republican Party into con-
servative hands, and led by clearly trace-
able steps to the election of Ronald Rea-
gan and the current conservative domi-
nance of American politics.
Now, by coincidence, the memoirs of
Clif White, who died in 1993, and the
best biography of Goldwater yet written
(and indeed the only one in 30 years)
have appeared almost simultaneously in
bookstores.

1970 Senate race, and as a senior adviser
to campaign manager Bill Casey in Rea-
gan’s successful 1980 bid for the presi-
