Sharon opens eyes after hearing grandson's voice

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon today briefly opened his eyes in response to a recording of his grandson’s voice, family members told doctors, though hospital officials warned there were no signs that the comatose Israeli leader was any closer to regaining consciousness.

With the prime minister still incapacitated 11 days after a massive stroke, today’s media excitement over the reported eye movements showed how even the slightest change in his condition is capturing the nation’s attention.
