Clinton trip nears end
Fund-raisers, house shopping dominate vacation
l^e Battc=
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — A
summer vacation that put Presi
dent Clinton’s lame-duck status on
uncomfortable
display neared a
close yesterday
with a pair of
fund-raisers for
the family’s new
ly minted politi
cian — the presi
dent’s wife.
The Clintons
also waited to
find out whether
CLINTON
their offer to
purchase a new home in a New
York City suburb was accepted.
While Clinton golfed, lounged
and gave a handful of political
speeches, much of the 16-day trip
to Massachusetts and New York fo
cused on Hillary Rodham Clinton
and her presumed run for the Sen
ate next year. Over the course of
the trip, Mrs. Clinton expected to
raise about $800,000 for her ex
ploratory campaign committee.
If she runs, Mrs. Clinton must live
in New York by Election Day. If the
Clintons have their way, home will be
a Georgian colonial they toured last
weekend in Westchester County.
Sources familiar with the Clin
tons’ housing search said they
made a bid on the house and were
waiting to see if it is accepted. The
Clintons offered less than the ask
ing price of nearly $1.7 million, but
the sources would not detail the
negotiations.
The 110-year-old house sits on a
little more than an acre of parklike
grounds, is located near a golf
course and boasts a swimming
pool, lush landscaping and an ex
ercise room on the top floor.
The house apparently passed se
curity muster this week. The Secret
Service checked out the house with
an eye to protecting Clinton when he
is a private citizen. Former presi
dents have a small security detail.
Clinton has 17 months left in his
second term and is thinking about
his future.
“1 can work for cheap,” he told a
New Yorker this week. “I've got a
good pension.” At another point he
noted, “I’m looking for a new role.”
The Clintons spent more than
half of the vacation in New York,
forsaking a second week on the
Massachusetts resort island of
Martha’s Vineyard where they
have been summer regulars during
Clinton’s more than six years in of
fice. They will head to Camp
David, the presidential retreat in
Maryland, today.

Website halts online auction of kidnt
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The bidding for a
human kidney offered on the Internet auction
site eBay hit $5.7 million before the company
put a stop to it yesterday.
Spokesperson for eBay Kevin Pursglove
said he had no idea if the kidney offering was
for real, but the auction was stopped because
the seller broke Ebay’s rules outlawing the
sale of body parts.
Selling one’s own organs is also illegal under
federal law. It is punishable by up to five years
in prison or a $50,000 fine.
“Any time you have an open trading envi
ronment with almost 6 million registered users,
you’re likely to see somebody who tries to bend
the rulesror to pull a prank on their fellow
users,” Pursglove said.
The seller, identified as “hchero” from Sun
rise, Fla., started the bidding at $25,000 on Aug.
26. The description read: “Fully functional kid
ney for sale. You can choose either kidney. Buy
er pays all transplant and medical costs.
“Any time you have an open
trading environment... you're
likely to see someone who
tries to bend the rules/'
— Kevin Pursglove
Ebay spokesperson
“Of course only one for sale, as I need the
other one to live. Serious bids only.”
Dr. Thomas Reardon, president ofth
ican Medical Association, said hew:
aback when he heard about the kidney
“Wow. Well, first of all. I'd questionti
of any doctor who would panicipateim
of transaction," Reardon said. "Second
illegal to sell organs in this country."
The Website has no system to spotc
able offers, instead relying on users to
company, Pursglove said.
“We get items we have to take^
fairly frequent basis. From time to
get a kidney or a liver," he said.
In April, a group of engineers ti
tion themselves as “high-priced,pn
ally trained cybergeeks" for $3.14:
The group stopped its own auctioni
explanation, but not before receiving
ber of bids.
