What do teens think about the entire Clinton/Lewinsky scandal? Last January, just after the first news of the affair broke, I got the scoop during the course of the annual ski weekend with kids from my church. Here's what they had to say:

• Yeside, 14
  "As far as him committing adultery, I think it's a personal issue between him and his wife. I don't care if he's lying. I don't know him, I don't know who he really is, and I don't know what his relationships are like. But I do think that if he's lying, that's not setting a good example for our country."

• Nathaniel, 17
  "It's a tragedy in our society that it means so much to people that he did it. It's blown up because of the media. The most trouble I have with Clinton is that he might be lying to our face."

• Amanda, 17
  "It's all blown out of proportion. It's like, 'Ah, give me a break'! The press is becoming a tabloid. Not all the facts are out yet, and this whole thing is not fair to the President. But if he is indeed this sexually promiscuous person, then he deserves all of this, and people deserve to know about it."

• David, 13
  This doesn't really change the way I feel about the President. He gave that big speech, with a lot of people watching, and it seemed to me that he was saying what he would do, like clean up the oceans, just to soften things up after what he did."

• Tammy, 13
  Tammy was very quiet, bashful, looking down most of the time as she talked. "Kids at school talk about it just a little. I think it's not true. That lady just wants attention. I think Bill Clinton is innocent." When I asked her what she thought of all the sexually explicit reports of the alleged affair, she shrugged her shoulders and said she hadn't heard any of them. "Sometimes I watch the news, but I haven't talked about it with anyone."
