It's all up for sale in an online auction to benefit the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, a human rights advocacy group.

Tea with Greenspan and his wife, NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell, was going for $11,000, according to the Web site http://rfkennedy.charitybuzz.com/viewLots.do. Bidding ends on May 7.
