Post gossip dowager Cindy Adams emerges from the gerontology ward this morning to bring news of a celebrity surgery: Larry King recently had a procedure to flush his arteries. Cindy, who was Larry's wet nurse when he was but a mewling infant, learns this from her former charge: "I actually never knew anything about the carotid artery. See, I take a yearly test. My doctor checked the blood flow to my brain and discovered I was over 70 percent blocked." At the very least we're talking malpractice here: they just found that out now? Also, 70 percent seems a little low: might want to run those numbers again.

QUIET, SUCCESSFUL AND FIT FOR A KING [NYP]
BONUS: Cindy reports "VANITY Fair prepping an all-Africa issue . . ." That's okay, Cindy, we don't follow the Post that closely either!
