(Times-UK) Ian MacKinnon - Ariel Sharon, Israel's 77-year-old prime minister, is expected to remain in hospital for several days after being taken there Sunday. Yuval Weiss, the hospital deputy director, said: "Initial checks showed he had a light stroke and during checks his condition improved. He was always conscious and didn't need any surgical intervention." Boleslav Goldman, Sharon's personal physician, said he would "be in hospital for a few days for sure," but "there is no reason for fear." "He is fully lucid, in full control," said spokesman Raanan Gissin.
