Ginsburg Reportedly Making Recovery

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is “recovering without complications” from the colon-cancer surgery she underwent Friday at Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said. Ginsburg, 66, fell ill while teaching in Crete in July. She was hospitalized there on July 18, but was not diagnosed with cancer until last week. Her doctor, colorectal surgeon Lee Smith, said Ginsburg will remain hospitalized for about a week, but he refused to speculate on when she might return to work. The Supreme Court’s 1999-2000 term will begin Oct. 4.
