...layers of the skin involved in the sun-screening process are visible under a microscope. Below the skin's outermost horny layer, or stratum corneum (see diagram), lies a germinative layer where, on exposure to sunlight, the pigment-producing cells are stimulated to produce more melanin-and a suntan. The black races (Negro, Bushman-Hottentot and Australoid), with a more abundant supply of melanin, are in effect, perpetually tanned. Members of the white race are transparent-skinned in winter, when they must make the most of the limited ultraviolet avail able to synthesize vitamin D, but they take...

...their heads. For newsmen, Lyndon pointed out two brown picnic tables in the yard at which he and his advisers had worked on the budget. "That's where you lost billions of dollars this week," he chuckled. "That's where I got the budget down, and a suntan-right there." Whether, as Lyndon has been hoping, the final budget comes out under $100 billion remains to be seen...
