Visitors are back in Washington, for all the reasons they came before. Gaggles of school groups and tour buses are on the National Mall, enjoying the green space and the museums. Demonstrators are marching . Convention centers have 19 large-scale events scheduled this year, with the largest — booked by the Association of the United States Army nonprofit — anticipating as many as 30,000 attendees.

It took Ron Belldegrun and his sister Mia Funt six years to research, test and win regulatory approval for their company's formula. When the Pennsylvania-based company launched in March, it was first new formula to hit the U.S. market in 15 years. Belldegrun spoke with the AP about the lack of competition in the formula industry and the ongoing shortage.
