Clinton discharged from hospital

New York: The former U.S. President, Bill Clinton left the hospital and returned home, four days after undergoing heart bypass surgery, his office said. The 58-year-old former President arrived on Friday evening at his home in the New York suburb of Chappaqua, according to his spokesman, Jim Kennedy. ``The President is in good spirits and has taken short walks in the hospital hallway and in his home on Saturday,'' Mr. Kennedy said in a prepared statement. Mr. Clinton had planned to campaign for John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for president, but the recovery from surgery will for now take him off the stump — with just eight weeks left until the election. — AP
