Billy Graham in good spirits at NC hospital

ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Officials say evangelist Billy Graham is in good spirits, watching television and joking with staff at the hospital where he's being treated for pneumonia.

A spokesman for Mission Hospital in Asheville says the 92-year-old preacher was listed in fair condition Thursday.

Dr. Shaw Henderson, a pulmonologist, says Graham's temperature is normal. Henderson is encouraging Graham to resume physical therapy and other normal daily activities.
