Kennedy Hospitalized In Boston For Congestion
Joseph P. Kennedy, 76, father of the late President John F. Kennedy, spent a comfortable night at New England Baptist Hospital where he is confined for treatment of congestion in the throat and chest. He entered the hospital Tuesday for medical tests and is expected to stay a few days. Dr. Russell S. Boles Jr said Kennedy hasn’t been feeling as well as he should since his December 1961 stroke and was brought to Boston because there is no way to check him at Hyannis Port.
