Sick Clinton heads for a lie-down

Former United States President Bill Clinton headed for his sick bed yesterday in Sydney after complaining of feeling unwell.

Mr Clinton, who is due in Auckland this evening to address a business forum tomorrow, excused himself from a scheduled press conference and headed for his hotel bed.

Visit organiser PR guru Max Markson said Mr Clinton would be well enough to meet his speaking commitments. "He just felt a bit sick yesterday and spent most of the day in bed. He was just a bit tired."
