Rockefeller Leaves Race Over Health
Sources can be close and still miss the story by a mile. Mr. Rockefeller is in my thoughts and I know he will come through this illness. He is a great human being, not really cut out for this political stuff.
Our friends at Arkansas Times have the most comprehensive report. They are linked on the left. Here is the heart of the matter.
"Rockefeller announced at a 4 p.m. Tuesday news conference that he'd learned in April that he had a rare form of bone cancer. He said he'd tried a drug treatment that wasn't successful. He now needs a bone marrow transplant. The treatment could take six to 12 months and it will prevent him from staying in the race."
