Newsman Jim Lehrer's heart surgery a success

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - PBS anchor Jim Lehrer will return to "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer" in the coming months following successful heart-valve surgery last week.

Lehrer, 73, hadn't been feeling well the weekend before Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary, and underwent surgery the next day at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

While he convalesces, the program will be anchored by Judy Woodruff, Ray Suarez, Margaret Warner and Gwen Ifill.
