Fox 8 News quoted the Carter Center Press Secretary Deanna Congileo as saying, "While on a flight to Cleveland, former US President Jimmy Carter tossed his cookies and, upon arrival, was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center for observation. He is resting comfortably and is expected to resume his book tour this week."
