Ford improves condition vows campaign trail for Bush soon
Former president Gerald Ford, 87, moved to fair condition and walked a hall with visitors including George W. Bush after a stroke while in intensive care at Hahnemann University Hospital. He pledged to campaign for Bush in a couple of weeks despite his illness. Separately, a rare arenavirus outbreak in California has killed a 14 year old in Oakland and is suspected in two more deaths in Orange and Riverside counties. Alaska Airlines plans up to 18 MD-80 inspections after a January crash, citing possible jackscrew-reading errors.
