...youth are most prone to skin cancers 20 years later. "The sun can do them in," Tomecki notes. Warning signs are new hard bumps on the skin that grow larger, and rough and irritated skin patches that do not heal; sometimes they have a pinkish border. Most moles are harmless, but if they grow crust or bleed, you should see a dermatologist...
...essence of how Barry Goldwater saw himself and how his admirers, liberals and conservatives, often came to see him too. Americans like their conservatives to be curmudgeonly--irascible, unblinkered, plain-talking tellers of uncomfortable truths, with a keen eye for hypocrisy. Curmudgeons are amusing, colorful and, most important, utterly harmless.

But if the purpose of these statues is to maintain order in the City of Cambridge, then the cancellation of these events is misguided at best. The entire purpose of House Committees is to organize harmless social functions--the sort of functions, one might add, that could actually keep students from doing other things that the law has deemed evil, like purchasing alcohol before living for 21 years. Despite the occasional "Debauchery Dance," House Committee events could not possibly be more innocuous. In a city fighting...
