Magazine publisher Larry Flynt was released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after a five-day hospitalization for an undisclosed ailment. A receptionist at Flynt Publications said that Flynt, 42, was back in his office soon after his release but was not accepting any phone calls. Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, was unconscious when paramedics brought him to the hospital’s emergency room last Sunday. His condition was upgraded from critical to serious after he regained consciousness several hours later.
