The first lady, seen here visiting an art program for Chicago's inner city

Some polls show Mrs. Clinton is one of the most unpopular first ladies in

She tested out the sound system today, in preparation for her speech, seen as
a chance to reverse negative perceptions of her before a national TV audience.
The theme of tonight's session is the family, a theme reflected on President
Clinton's whistle stop tour today.
Children reading "The Little Engine That Could" helped President Clinton
