Culture of Consumption Update

AP News Alert:
WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Patrick Kennedy has reached a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to a charge of driving under the influence of prescription drugs.

WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Patrick Kennedy pleaded guilty Tuesday to driving under the influence of prescription drugs and was sentenced to court-ordered drug treatment and a year of probation.
