September 3, 2004, Bypass back to reality
Much as a particular political figure in his late 50's was widely thought to be the likeliest candidate to need heart by-pass surgery after the GOP extravaganza, it turns out that another one has that particular problem, former President Bill Clinton. After complaining of chest pains, he checked into a New York hospital, which announced it will do by-pass surgery shortly to go around a coronary blockage.
Best wishes to President Clinton for a speedy recovery. While he probably won't be able to participate much in the presidential campaign, he has a really good reason.
