  4. Clothing with UV protection built in

    The amount of clothing many of us wear in summer is, understandably, inverse to the temperature. Matters of decency aside, that might not be a problem if we wore enough sunscreen, but most Americans don't.

  5. Second opinions

    A public official's health is legitimate commentary fodder. Dick Cheney's blood clots and heart issues. Bill Clinton's cardiac-burger attacks. Ronald Reagan's basal cell carcinoma and (yuck!) colon polyps. But life-threatening cancer? That's pretty much uncharted territory. No surprise, then, that most cartoonists skipped over Elizabeth Edwards' and White House spokesman Tony Snow's announcements in favor of more comfortable topics &#8212; war, genocide or pet poisoning. A couple of us took the easy way out, second-guessing the second-guessers. Kevin Siers was of two minds, but Walt Handelsman delivered a thoughtful point. Now there's another opinion worth considering.

  7. Moles' split personality

    We've long been told to keep an eye on our moles lest they progress to melanoma, a form of skin cancer that's treatable if caught early, deadly if not. But not all moles are equal -- some are risky; others can be safely left alone. The biological roots of those differences are not really understood. However, scientists are making progress on several fronts.
