Vandenberg Hospitalized for Re-examination
Former U S Senator Arthur Vandenberg entered the hospital in mid November for a re-examination of his condition amid a long battle with illness. He had undergone two operations in the past 15 months including the removal of a lung and his return date to Washington remains unclear. Vandenberg, a familiar voice on foreign policy, had been absent from the current Korea debate, and his supporters hope for unity in U S foreign policy amid his health challenges.
