They took Robert Tools out to eat Monday, and the 59-year-old technical librarian, the world's first recipient of a self-contained artificial heart, strapped on the ol' feedbag big time. Tools, who is making "fabulous progress," according to his doctors, downed a Philly cheesesteak, along with some collared greens, rice and cornbread. He finished off his meal with a slice of lemon meringue pie. Suddenly, all this artificial heart stuff is starting to make sense.
