Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) was taken by ambulance yesterday to a hospital near his Cape Cod vacation home after suffering a mild seizure attributed to a change in medications, his office in Washington said in a statement.

Kennedy, 76, returned home a few hours later. Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) said his Senate colleague was well and planned to watch last night's presidential debate.

He had a seizure in May and underwent surgery in June for a malignant brain tumor.
