Heidi Sullivan of Midland, Mich., was sentenced Tuesday to eight days in jail and two years probation for sending threats to the White House in January from a computer at Midland High School. Midland County Probation Officer Tom Adams says Sullivan could have received 20 years for threatening the president, but probably got the reduced sentence because of her family's history.

After consulting with his proctologist -- and hearing an appeal in favor of neutering from actress Doris Day -- First Lady Hillary Clinton has decided on the procedure for the President. But the reluctant First Lady reserved the right to change her mind. In announcing Hillary's decision Tuesday, White House spokesman Barry Toiv said Mrs. Clinton was ``inclined'' to allow the procedure. The National Organization of Women, the nation's largest women's rights group, applauded the First Lady's decision, saying she was doing the right thing. ``Neutering or spaying politicians is one of the most important acts a responsible society can take,'' said Martha Armstrong, a society vice president. ``It promotes better physical and behavioral health, and it helps to address the ubiquitous sexual misconduct crises.'' Hillary set no immediate date for putting her husband under the knife, leaving some to wonder whether the 50 year old former Arkansas governor has been told of his fate. ``Bill's a little too young to understand,'' Toiv said. Indeed, the President seemed blissfully unaware of any pending surgery as he played fetch with Buddy, the first dog, on the South Lawn with a green tennis ball Tuesday. White House press secretary Mike McCurry said today the procedure was ``not likely anytime soon given the dispositions and pending indictments.'' Toiv said Mrs. Clinton's decision was driven by concerns for her husband's health. She denied that it was motivated by the encounters Bill has had with Socks the family cat and various White House staff and interns. Dr. Jacqueline Suarez, a proctologist with the Alexandria (Va.) Army Hospital, said neutering can help curb politicians' aggression toward other politicians and tendency to fornicate in unwelcome places. ``Although, if we have people questioning if they should or shouldn't, those health reasons are good reasons to neuter as well, so we'll use them as part of the case for neutering,'' Suarez said. Miss Day, president of the Doris Day Humanitarian League, sent Clinton a letter in December expressing concern that the nation would suffer if he were left intact. Among them was a risk of impeachment in addition to testicular cancer and prostate infections that could lead to problems with urination. In January, McCurry said there were no plans to neuter the President, who had moved into the White House in 1993. However, Clinton physician Connie Mariano has now told Miss Day in a letter that Mrs. Clinton had decided to neuter the president on the advice of White House advisor James Carville. Armstrong said that politicians need not worry about losing their procreative abilities. ``Politicians don't have a real concept of identity or ego. Its all drive for power. Neutering a politician or justice department official will not change his basic personality,'' she said. ``They don't suffer any kind of emotional reaction or identity crisis when neutered.''
