First Lady Recommends Cleaning Your Room
From Times Wire Reports
First Lady Laura Bush urged youngsters to use the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday for public service -- even if it meant cleaning their rooms.

She suggested ideas such as being “especially kind” to family members, lending a hand to teachers and tidying their rooms.
