Jimmy Carter hospitalized on book tour

Carter, 85, was scheduled to appear at a book signing at the Joseph-Beth Booksellers at Legacy Village this afternoon. That event has been canceled, and Carter is expected to resume the book tour later this week.

Let's hope the illness is not serious, and that he can recover fully.

Carter has two Washington-area stops on Sept. 29 on his book tour: At 12:30 p.m. that day, he'll visit the Politics & Prose shop and at 7 p.m. he'll appear at the Smithsonian Associates Program at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium.
