(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. LOS ANGELES (AP) publican presidential cat George W.

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.
