ENGLEWOOD, Colo. —
Doctors today pronounced Alabama Gov. George Wallace’s July 27 surgery a success, meaning that pain from a 1972 shooting that left him paralyzed should subside.
Wallace, 65, appeared at a news conference looking pale and wearing a white short-sleeve shirt and blue slacks. “I’m smiling today,” he said. He will be released from Craig Hospital on Saturday and will fly back to Montgomery, Ala., to continue his convalescence at the governor’s mansion.
