Former US Vice President Dick Cheney Taken to Hospital

THE TIMES: The former US Vice President Dick Cheney was admitted to hospital overnight after experiencing discomfort, the latest health scare for the 69-year-old Republican who has a long history of heart disease.

Mr Cheney, who was vice president under President George W. Bush, was expected to remain at George Washington University Hospital over the weekend.

It was not immediately clear whether the latest hospitalisation was related to his past heart troubles, which saw the Mr Cheney suffer his fifth heart attack since 1978 in February. >>> Sophie Tedmanson | Saturday, June 26, 2010
