Larry King Television Special on Alzheimers

Larry King retired from CNN in the fall of 2010.
After his retirement, he found Alzheimer's disease afflicting baby boomers so compelling he returned for a special on Sunday May 1st, 2011.

CNN aired the first Larry King Special: Unthinkable: the Alzheimer’s Epidemic.” 
"It’s being called the disease of the 21^st century as an estimated 5.4 million people have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It is the sixth-leading cause of death across all ages in the United States, but many Americans still do not know much about this illness. The one-hour special will look into Alzheimer’s disease, who gets it and why, the race to find effective treatments and a possible cure."    Quoted from CNN Press Room.
