The President has apparently not changed his tune.
The President's lawyers argue the Senate accusations are too vague to permit conviction- and removal from official.
But the White House is not seeking an immediate disimissal of charges.

((While Mr. Clinton was keeping it official with the visiting President of Argentina, his lawyers were filing the official reply to the summons for the impeachment trial in the Senate.
The reply offers the first formal sketch of the President's defense
strategy for the trial. Among other things, the President's team argues that the charges in the articles of impeachment do not meet the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors needed for removal from office.
And the articles are called unconstitutionally vague.
The White House is insisting on moving the process along as quickly as possible.
JOE LOCKHART/WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WE'D LIKE TO GET DONE HERE IS TO HAVE THIS DONE IN AN EXPEDITIOUS
WAY...AND ONE WAY TO DO THAT IS TO RELY ON THE RECORD, WHICH WE WILL STIPULATE TO.
But the lead prosecutor is insisting that the President is trying to have it both ways...saying that if Mr. Clinton agrees that the facts support a penalty like censure...then why contest them in the context of the trial.
REP. HENRY HYDE/JUDICIARY COMMITTEE CHAIR/R-IL.: THEY ARE READY TO CENSURE THE PRESIDENT IN THE MOST STRONG TERMS, BASED ON THE SAME FACTS, SO ALL THEY DO IS CRITICIZE THE PROCESS, OR THEY SAY, GIVEN THE FACTS, THEY DON'T RISE TO THE LEVEL OF AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.
Meanwhile, two Democratic Senators are concerned that significant parts
of the trial will be conducted in secret. They want the public's help
to change the Senate's rules.

According to Education Department reports, that's when one student holds his breath and another hits him in the stomach so he passes out.

Keepers at the Saint Petersburg Zoo believe videotapes from the U-S will help a pair of orangutans take care of their baby.
The female ape Monika was raised in captivity and apparently doesn't know how to take care of her latest baby.
Her first baby nearly starved to death after the parents neglected him.
So keepers want to show the couple videotapes of primates caring for their young. They hope Monika and her mate, Rabu will learn something.
However television could be more of the problem than the cure.
The male ape was already watching so much Russian television, he lost all interest in his family.
It was only after the television was switched off the adult pair started getting along.
If the project doesn't work the couple's next baby may have to grow up alone.
