Margery Kraus of APCO Worldwide has been named "International PR Professional of the Year" by PR Week magazine - a fitting honor to a woman whose company specializes in the worst sleaze the industry produces -- from helping the tobacco industry promote "sound science" [8] to orchestrating a phony "grassroots" campaign for "tort reform" [9] as a way of making it harder for citizens to sue corporations [10].
