Dolley Madison coin unveiled

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton received a commemorative Dolley
Madison silver dollar Monday, amid glowing comparisons that placed her
alongside President Madison's wife as a trailblazing first lady. Clinton
was given the coin in a small red velvet box by deputy Treasury Secretary
Larry Summers during a ceremony in the White House's East Room. She held up
the shining coin while standing before the famous painting of George
Washington that Madison rescued just before British troops descended on the
White House and burned it down in 1814. see full story
