   Former  U.S.  president  Jimmy  Carter was hospitalized Tuesday in the
   midwestern  U.S.  city  of  Cleveland,  Ohio,  after becoming ill on a
   flight there.
   A  spokeswoman  at  Cleveland  Hopkins  International Airport says Mr.
   Carter  was met by rescue crews when his plane landed and taken to the
   hospital.
   The  [1]Carter  Center  in  the southeastern city of Atlanta, Georgia,
   says the former president developed an upset stomach during the flight
   and has been resting comfortably.
   Mr.  Carter was due in Cleveland to sign copies of his new book, White
   House  Diary.   He  is 85 years old and served as U.S. president from
   1977 to 1981.
   The  Carter Center says Mr. Carter is expected to resume his book tour
   this week.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
