BBC NEWS | Europe | Chirac admitted to Paris hospital

The news reports around the world are conflicting. Some are saying French President Jacques Chirac has had a small stroke. Others, the BBC included, are saying he's had a vascular problem that's affected his eyesight (otherwise known as a transient ischemic attack, they say). At any rate, he's expected to be in hospital for about a week or so. Use title link for the BBC report, which has links to reports at other news agencies.
