Former Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, 87 entered Tel Hasher Hospital in Tel Aviv Sunday with what his physician described as a mild cerebral hemorrhage. "He is in quite serious condition but his chances are quite good," Dr. Boleslaw Goldman said. The stroke paralyzed Ben-Gurion's right side, Goldman said. He added that Israel's elder statesman was conscious and was receiving infusions of food but no medication.
