PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) -- A Princeton economics professor and former presidential adviser lay in critical condition after being burned while carrying a blazing Christmas tree from his home.
David Bradford, who served as a top economic adviser to former President Bush, suffered third-degree burns over half his body early Tuesday, police said. He was being treated at a hospital in Philadelphia.
The fire was caused by one of about 10 lit candles on the tree, which had been in the house since December, police said.
Bradford was a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers from 1991 to 1993.
