The Lighter Side Of Larry King

It’s not every day we get to see the Borscht Belt side of CNN’s Larry King, but it was evident at last week’s UJA Federation of New York dinner honoring agency creative Linda Kaplan Thaler and Coke COO Steve Heyer.

King, a friend of Heyer’s from the latter’s days at TBS, gave the keynote speech, which included a series of one-liners. To convey the meaning of the Yiddish word chutzpah, King noted that Hadassah, the women’s Zionist organization, had so much of it that it opened an office in Libya.
