Rockefeller on the Mend after Fall

U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., has curtailed his immediate schedule and remains in a hospital after surgery to repair a tendon above his knee that tore during a visit to West Virginia University, The Associated Press reports.

The 71-year-old had been visiting WVU students when he slipped on some rain-slickened steps, the article said.
