...treatises on Lifemanship and Gamesmanship (TIME, Sept. 6, 1948), Potter developed his brilliant theories about how to be always one up on everyone through such ploys as the Canterbury Block* and Cogg-Willoughby's Anti-Suntan Gambit.† Potter's latest does not reach these heights, but there is highly useful advice on how to make cribside visitors feel like germ carriers, how to write an autobiography though nothing has ever happened in one's life, and how to devastate an author in a book review ("If you don't know what...
...possible dangers of the methox-salen suntan pills, Meloxine and Oxsoralen (TIME, Aug. 4), the A.M.A. declared: "No one knows what will happen to the skin when courses of methoxsalen and sun exposures are repeated once, twice, or oftener each year for many years. Nor is it yet certain what effects, good or bad, this drug will have on the development and course of skin malignancies or on the usual senile skin changes." Determined not to have its editorial head turned by the bronzed body beautiful, the A.M.A. concluded that "even the esthetic value of its effects is still dubious...
Sunburn. Easily the most burning question concerns suntan pills derived from an ancient Egyptian herb remedy. A few years ago, U.S. researchers extracted the weed's potent chemical, 8-methoxy-psoralen, or 8-MOP for short, thought it might help thin-skinned sun seekers tan without burning (TIME, Oct. 17, 1955).

A few minutes later at Maison-Blanche airport. Charles de Gaulle, clad in the undecorated suntan uniform of a brigadier general, stepped down onto the soil of Algeria-the first French Premier to show his face there since an Algiers mob greeted Socialist Guy Mollet with a shower of rotten tomatoes in February...
Bravely attempting to do in Hawaii as the California tourists do, Iran's vacationing Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi got into blue-and-white trunks, dabbed himself with suntan oil and hired Waikiki Beachboy Percy Kinimaka to give him some dual time on a surfboard. After 30 minutes of instruction and two dunkings, the Shah triumphantly soloed 100 ft. through the briny to earn a small tribute from teacher: "A natural surfer." Back at his pine-shaded palace in Teheran, the Shah had earlier discussed his divorce from Princess Soraya, a water-ski student on her recent Bermuda trip, with...
