In addition to rerout ing the arteries, they also installed an E Z Pass,” Letterman, 52, said, joking about the commuter toll passes. Among the cards from well-wish ers were flowers from President Clin ton and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who appeared on his show Wednesday. Doctors ordered the suigery Friday after an angiogram showed that one of Letterman’s arteries was severely con stricted. He had the test because of high cholesterol and a history of heart dis ease in his family. “Dave’s doing great,” said Dr. 0. Whyne Isom, chairman of cardiothoracic suigery at the Weill Cornell Center of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. “He’s making jokes and feels terrific. He’s on his way to a full recovery.” Letterman’s physician and cardiol ogist have said it’s too soon to say how long the comedian will need to recu perate. CBS plans to air reruns of the “Late Show” until he recovers. Letterman joked about his arteries with guest Regis Philbin during the pro gram that was taped on Thursday and aired Friday, joking that after his tests, doctors might have to “open Daddy’s rib cage.” Houston caught with pot Staff Reports Associated Press Kailua-Kona, Hawaii - Whitney Houston was caught with 15.2 grams of marijuana at an airport security check point last week but boarded her depart ing flight before police officers arrived, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Tribune-Herald of Hilo, Hawaii, said an airport security officer at Kea hole-Kona International Airport found the marijuana Tuesday after he asked the Grammy-winning singer to open her bag for inspection. The bag was seized, but the singer walked away when security officers tried to detain her, Lt. Robert Hickcox said. Houston’s United Airlines flight to San Francisco departed 45 minutes be fore police officers arrived, Hickcox said. Airport security officers, employed by a private company, can only arrest passengers for crimes related to airport security. The firm, Whckenhut of Hawaii, declined comment to The Associated Press on Sunday night. An answering service for Houston’s spokeswoman, Carol Stone, said Stone was out of the country and couldn’t im mediately be reached for comment. A message left with her answering service wasn’t immediately returned on Sunday night to the AP. According to the newspaper, the Hawaii County Police Department’s dai ly police bulletin noted that 15.2 grams of marijuana was recovered at the air port at 2:28 p.m. Tuesday, but didn’t identify a suspect. Police officers planned to refer the case to the Hawaii County prosecutor’s office, a process that could take a month, Hickcox told the newspaper. Police officers declined to comment to the AP late Sunday. Officials at Arista Records, Hous ton’s record label, couldn’t be reached for comment in either Los Angeles or New York on Sunday night. rus*asiuii 01 1 j grams ui maiijua na could lead to a drug chaige of pro motion of a detrimental drug, Hickcox said. The petty misdemeanor is pun ishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Houston has sold millions of records and is one of the world’s most success ful recording artists. She has also starred in such films as “The Bodyguard” and “Whiting to Exhale.” She was nominated this month for four Grammy awards for her latest al bum, “My Love is Your Love.”
