Former President
George H.W. Bush will
spend a fourth night in a
Texas hospital, his office
announced Friday.
Bush, 90, was taken to
Houston Methodist Hospital
as a precaution Tuesday
after experiencing a shortness of breath.
He has remained at the
hospital for observation
since then, though his office said in a statement that
the 41st president remains
in “high spirits and continues to make progress.”

LOS ANGELES
(TNS) — Sony Pictures’
controversial comedy
“The Interview” began
its atypical release with
about $1 million in ticket
sales from 331 theaters
on Christmas Day, the
studio estimated.
The film, starring Seth
Rogen and James Franco,
also was made available
through video-on-demand
platforms starting Wednesday. The studio released
the movie through digital
rentals and purchases.
Sales figures for the
on-demand video market
were not available.
Some theaters across
the country hosted soldout showings as many
moviegoers trekked to the
cinemas out of a sense
of patriotism and support
for free speech after the
movie’s rocky ride.
The family of Clayton Meyers extend their
sincere appreciation to all who supported our
family during Clayton’s lengthy stay at Hays Med
and KU Med Center.
─
Thank you for the powerful prayers, masses, visits,
calls, messages, cards, gifts and flowers.
God Bless each and all of you.
Happy Holidays
