If you notice more people than usual wearing red -- especially near schools -- it may be because it is Red Ribbon Week, the nation’s oldest drug abuse prevention program.

The week dates from the Reagan Administration and was inspired by the murder in 1985 of drug enforcement agent Enriqué Camarena. [DEA]

Hudson Kroenig is only 3, but he’s already the subject of an inside-the-closet profile on the Coveteur website. Why?
