Calm Pervades the Main Stream Media.
It's always nice to see some scepticism about a reported epidemic -- especially in the month of August --
Many dermatologists argue that melanoma, the most deadly of the skin cancers, is in fact becoming more common. And they recommend regular skin cancer screening as the best way to save lives. But some specialists say that what the numbers represent is not an epidemic of skin cancer but an epidemic of skin cancer screening, and a new study lends support to this view.There's even a reasonably calm story about finding dreaded snakeheads in a park in Queens in the same issue of the New York Times. What is the world coming to?
