Powell Back at Work After Cancer Surgery
From Times Wire Reports
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell resumed work from the hospital after successful surgery for prostate cancer, calling his deputy three times.
“I’d say he’s full of spit and vinegar this morning,” Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said on NBC television’s “Today Show” when asked how Powell was doing. “He’s already called me twice before 7 o’clock. So I think that’s an indication he’s doing fine.”
Armitage declined to go into detail, except to say that the calls concerned business.
