SEOUL, South Korea � Henry Kissinger, the former United States secretary of state, was hospitalized here because of stomach pains on Saturday. But his condition has quickly improved, said a spokesman for Yonsei University�s Severance Hospital in Seoul.
�There is nothing serious about his condition,� Lee Seong-man, the hospital spokesman, said during a telephone interview. �His condition is continuing to improve, and in a case like this, we expect him to leave hospital tomorrow.�
