Screen star Elizabeth Taylor who checked into Beersheba’s eye, ear, nose and throat clinic briefly last Thursday for treatment of a sore throat and other cold symptoms, required medical attention again yesterday.

This time it was for a slightly bruised foot Ms. Taylor suffered when the car she was riding in to pay a call on Defense Minister Ariel Sharon at his Negev ranch, skidded on a rain-slicked road and ran into the car ahead of it.

The superstar, on a voluntary good-will and peace-keeping visit to Israel, made it to the Sharon “spread where she and her party spent several convivial hours with the Sharon family. A physician was summoned to apply necessary treatment to the terminal end of the Taylor vertebrai. She returned to her Tel Aviv hotel later in the evening without further incident.
