WASHINGTON, June 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The American Public Health Association (APHA) today recognizes the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906, the founding law of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Benjamin, MD, FACP, executive director of APHA.

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart is highly partisan, frequently newsworthy and, likely depending on your political views, to be roundly admired or soundly criticized.
But Breitbart is credited by all with first reporting the indiscreet tweets of Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y. It's the latest in a series of headline-winning incidents involving the digital entrepreneur and his unique new-media mix of publishing, sensationalism and political advocacy.
