Cheney's procedure was really a 'heart implant'

Editor,

The newspaper made a mistake in labeling the surgery as a heart transplant (Mar. 25, "Dick Cheney gets a new heart"). The term "transplant" implicates that he had a heart to begin with. As we all know, Mr. Cheney has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of a heart.

Thus, implanting a heart is the correct medical description. Hopefully, this will improve his disposition.
