Tower of Pisa 'stabilised'...

They reckon it is now back to ~1700 slant, so should stay up for several centuries more.

Barring an earthquake, of course...

Fine, now it'll be down by tuesday.

Officials have said over the years that they have no intention of straightening the tower, which would detract from its unique status and tourist draw.

Not only that (that part is from the article), but it would look funny, b/c when it first started leaning, the folks building it 'adjusted' the build structure to make it look 'straight'-ish. So, if they 'straighten' it, the top will tilt to one side and look very odd.

Hooray for art history courses!

When I was in Italy, the tower was still closed (that was in 1997) and I only saw it from the train. It's still a cool structure.

Is it open again then? I went up it in 1985, before they closed it. Strange to think that it will now be leaning less than it did then.
