Obuchi still in coma

TOKYO, Japan - Acting Prime Minister Mikio Aoki tells reporters April 4 that Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi, who suffered a stroke April 2, remains in a coma and hooked up to a respirator at Tokyo's Juntendo University Hospital. The premier's condition ''remains unchanged since I reported it to you at 4 p.m. yesterday,'' Aoki said. He also said the cabinet will resign en masse in a day or two to avoid a political vacuum.
