Nixon Recovering From Surgery
Former President Richard M. Nixon was reported doing well today as he recovered from prostate surgery at New York Hospital.
Nixon, 74, “underwent an uneventful transurethral resection of the prostate” on Monday, hospital spokeswoman Myrna Manners said in a statement. “It’s anticipated he will be discharged in several days and he is expected to convalesce at home for about a month.” A spokesman for the former President, John Taylor, said the operation went smoothly and no malignancy was involved. Nixon lives in Saddle River, N.J.
