Heart Trouble Keeps Elizabeth Taylor Hospitalized

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Heart trouble is keeping Elizabeth Taylor hospitalized in Los Angeles, but her publicist says the 78-year-old actress is OK and has been visiting with family and friends.

   Taylor publicist Sally Morrison said Tuesday that the "Butterfield 8" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" Oscar winner is comfortable at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was taken last week with congestive heart failure, a condition she disclosed in November 2004.

   Morrison describes the 78-year-old actress as stable, saying she will likely remain hospitalized a few more days. The publicist says doctors want to continue running tests and "be really, really sure before they let her go."
