GRAPEVINE, Page 19One from the Heart
By JOHN GREENWALD
Attorneys who contend that Democratic patriarch CLARK
CLIFFORD, 85, is too ill to stand trial for his alleged role in
the B.C.C.I. scandal could well be right. When Clifford sought
heart surgery at the Washington Hospital Center in July, doctors
quietly determined that his heart was too weak to withstand an
operation. "He has practically no heart muscle left," says a
medical source. Clifford was later hospitalized briefly for
internal bleeding. His lawyers now plan to ask a New York judge
to dismiss the charges against him on the ground that the rigors
of a trial could cause a fatal heart attack.
