Friday, June 19, 1998; 5:54 a.m. EDT MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Former Gov. George Wallace is back at home after being treated in a hospital for an upper respiratory infection. Wallace, 78, was released Thursday after a three-day stay, Jackson Hospital spokeswoman Carmen Stegall said. The former governor was admitted to the hospital Monday with difficulty breathing. He had been sick for about a week with a bad cold, said his son, George Wallace Jr. Doctors and family members were worried about the threat of pneumonia but doctors said Wallace's lungs were clear, his son said. The former governor suffers from Parkinson's disease and various ailments related to a 1972 assassination attempt that paralyzed his legs.
