...common, in fact, that Reagan was not the only American leader reported last week to be afflicted with it. Former President Richard Nixon, it was revealed, underwent treatment two weeks ago to excise a basal-cell growth behind his left ear. In all, approximately 500,000 Americans a year develop skin cancer, and the overwhelming majority of these are basal-cell carcinomas, usually small, pearly nodules that sometimes become red, crusty lesions and appear most often on the face. "The sun is responsible for almost all of them," says Dr. Perry Robins, a New York University dermatologist and president...

Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger knows precisely what he wants--a massive military buildup--and making deals with the Kremlin...

It has not helped that Kilpatrick left undiminished his 21-person security detail (the mayor of Chicago, a city with three times the population, has 15 guards). When Gary Brown, the deputy chief of police internal affairs, opened an investigation into misconduct by the security team, Kilpatrick fired him, ostensibly because Brown did not get his chief's approval...
