NEW YORK, June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's office called the office of prominent hedge-fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller last fall and said, with a chuckle, that the purpose of the call wasn't a "regulatory matter," but that Spitzer wanted to chat, according to people who've heard the story from Druckenmiller. Later, Spitzer asked for a contribution, about $25,000 each from Druckenmiller and his wife, to the "Spitzer 2006" committee for his likely campaign as a Democrat for New York governor, reports Newsweek Senior Writer Charles Gasparino in the current issue.
