The Nation : Justice Marshall Ailing

Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was admitted to Bethesda Naval Hospital suffering from a blood clot in his right foot, a spokeswoman said. “He is in good condition, according to his physicians, and is expected to be hospitalized approximately a week because he is receiving intravenous anti-coagulants, which require monitoring,” said Toni House, a Supreme Court spokeswoman. Marshall, 78, was admitted to the medical facility outside the nation’s capital on Wednesday afternoon.
