Here's a very scary thought about succession ... check out the last paragraph: Senator Strom Thurmond, 97, Hospitalized By Andy Sullivan Sep 30 11:42pm ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond, at 97 the oldest man ever to serve in the U.S. Senate, was recovering in a Washington hospital Saturday evening after falling ill earlier in the day, a spokeswoman said. ``He's actually doing very well; he's in good condition; he's alert; he's in a good mood,'' Thurmond spokeswoman Genevieve Erny told Reuters in a phone interview. A spokesman at Walter Reed Army Medical Center said Thurmond was listed in fair condition. Doctors performed a battery of tests on Thurmond, Erny said, and will hold him in the hospital at least through Monday morning for observation. If he is released Monday he is expected to open Senate proceedings at noon, she said. Thurmond was dining with a staff member and an acquaintance when he briefly lost consciousness. As the senior Republican in the Senate, Thurmond holds the post of president pro tempore, making him third in line to succeed the presidency behind Vice President Al Gore and House Speaker Dennis Hastert.
