'Clinton's Rival, Seeking Cash, Sounds a Note of New Urgency'

Jeanine F. Pirro, who is seeking to unseat Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, has opened a harsh attack on Bill Clinton, saying that the senator has learned "a thing or two from her husband on the art of political manipulation."

The Clinton camp responded by pointing to Ms. Pirro's previous statements in which she indicated that the background of her husband, Albert J. Pirro Jr., should not be an issue in the campaign. Mr. Pirro, who has been plagued by scandal, has largely kept out of view since his wife announced her candidacy.

"It's unfortunate that Ms. Pirro would choose to contradict herself and attack Senator Clinton's husband," said Howard Wolfson, one of Mrs. Clinton's chief advisers. "She may not appreciate the eight years of peace and prosperity he brought America, but many New Yorkers do."
